    Lower rudder plane retention

    Are there any tricks to use to keep the lower rudder from falling out of the hull after lots of use. Its come out twice during all my latest sea trials of this old Skipjack sub. Luckily it’s only in the bath tub. I have tightened the yoke set screw until the allen wrench is twisting so that screw is loosening somehow. I don't want a permanent fix like JBWeld as I might need to remove that fin in the future. I am just worried about it falling off in a pond where it would be lost. Would CA work to keep the set screw tight bit still let you remove it layer if necessary? Any other tricks or suggestions to use?
