Tried that. After carefully moving each part independently, I'm 100% positive its the pin hitting the inside of the set holes as the peddles are moved.

Nope, not hitting the hull. The noise is stil there when the peddles are flippered outside of the water.

Bummer there goes your reputation.

I've seen this before........

Just talking at first......

Maybe an "accidental" meeting at the launch.......

.....next thing you know you are camping in the same tent with no one else around.

Just ask Roby and George how quickly an online romance can blossom into a full relationship.

Congrats on finding your other half.
