6 ft lbs isn't much for a 3/8 bolt. But I know from my scientific experiments of towing trailers for a long time that nylock nuts hold way better than split lock washers for holding the boards to the trailer deck.

What many don't know is that you're not supposed to reuse a Nyloc nut.

Never tried it but have heard you can use a piece of fishing line also to "make" a lock nut

Blue loctite works best when nylocs aren't permissible

I buy the blue and red in a dispenser that's thicker and won't drip, and will sit in the grooves uniformly

This I knew, but I do reuse them frequently

You guys ever seen Nord-Lock washers? I've used them on a snowmobile Y-pipe that is notorious for vibrating its nuts off.
