swim grid moving

mine always moves just enough to notice a "kajunk"...when the boats floating and a wave comes in.....its a single lock pin per side to hold it in and they are loose...I'm thinking of drilling another hole per side and bolting the darn thing on so it stops moving or maybe just getting bigger bolts...anyone done this on their's??? or how have you fixed it?

A temporary fix would be to take a plastic type hotel room key or old gift card or whatever and slide it between the bracket and where it mounts to the boat. This should take care of the 'play' that makes it rattle - ours does the same thing.

I suggest using the wife's credit card. In fact I'm going to wiggle mine now to try and loosen it up. (Platform not wife)

Mine does the same and the (what appears to be aluminum) bracket is wearing out. I need to find a good solution, but I don't have wife. lol

Didn't realize we have the same boat. Must be a design issue. Off to get a wife.....

If it's at a dock that you notice it just park the boat nose out, instead of platform out. If you notice it in the middle of the lake then you might want to get tighter fitting bolts. Drilling a second location may not help as much as just getting the one you have snug. Try to get the bolt shaft and not threads where the mount is.
