When I'm in heavy seas and rocking back and forth I have a loud creaking noise, but if I'm in calm water it's quiet.
I can feel it if I'm sitting on the port side, has anyone had this problem?

Re: Creaking on the port side on 31TE
In Zero PSII I hear a creak in the seam of the hatch that provides access to the space between the engines. I have to be standing on the hatch for it to occur.
I believe that the hatch flexes just a bit with weight on it and that the outer edge lip bows out against the recess spaced that acts as a drain. My plan is to look for the wear mark and sand it back a bit to stop the noise. The good news is that there isn't any sign of damage or cracking, just noise.

My creak is from the port side chair base. Only when someone's sitting in it.
Considering a washer between the base and the fiberglass
