2004 Sport 130 bench seat with console separating

Under normal operating everything is in place by gravity but if you put pressure on the steering wheel or lift it it will come off. It appears the screw holes have worked themselves larger than the screws so there is nothing securing the seat to the hull. I want to repair this, what would be the best method? Would a marine epoxy or gelcoat be the best solution? Thanks!
