Creaking floorboards in the heads
« on: October 16 2013, 16:08 »
I have a new Bavaria 33 and the floorboards in the heads creak when you step on them. I suspect this is the same in some of the other new design Bavarias. Has anyone found a way to silence them?

Try some self-adhesive rubber seal tape for house windows and doors, quick to fit, cost is under £5, waterproof, a 10M length 9mm x 3mm (w x h) cured most of my own floorboard creaks, simply cut to length and stick around the floorboard contact surfaces onto either the floorboards or the floor.
