Anyone else getting an intermittent clunking noise from your helm seat? I only get when two people are sitting in it while the boat is underway. Sounds like the pins that click into the retaining latch has some play in it. I've opened and closed the engine compartment as well as checked to make sure nothing is loose and everything looks good. Just curious if anyone else has the same issue?
 
Lift your seat and try turning the post a quarter turn on whichever side is making the noise. We just use a crescent wrench. Line up the flat sides of the latch post so it's the same as the side not making a clunk. Worked for us.
 
Perfect!!! I will give that a shot. Makes sense as only one side is doing it
