2017 G23 Board Racks Loose

[FullmetalHeart]

Hey guys, both of my board racks are loose and rotate clockwise and counter clockwise about 2 inches. Its loose on the round part of the rack where it mates to the swivel. It looks like the black Nautique plastic piece would pop off and there would be screws/bolts behind it, but after prying on it a little bit it doesn't want to come off. The allen screws on the back side are tight. Any ideas or a breakdown of the board rack? thanks!

Montana Boat Guy can probably help. He's fighting a hurricane right now though.

Yep. This may be a little difficult to explain but it's not too bad. Inside the rack is a little plastic cover. It's held in by an allen screw underneath the rack. You'll have to look under there to find it. Loosen that one and that plastic cover will come off. Under that you'll find another bigger allen screw. You can simply tighten it, but it's better to take it out, hit it with some blue Lock-Tite and put it back.

Charles, is correct. The "medallion" screws are accessible from the bottom of the backing plate. Once the medallion is off remove one bolt at a time and add some loc tite to each bolt. DO NOT over due the loc tite as it will do the opposite of what is suppose to. A light coating on 3-5 threads should do the job. While yourIf you need any other assistance PM me and I will be more than happy to help out.

Not difficult at all, I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. Saw those 4 screws on the back, but because of how it went together I couldn't figure out what it went to. Makes sense now that it holds that Nautqiue badge on. Thank you so much!
