E-series Tower Rattle

[rhoadsdj]

After 1 year, I can't seem to keep my tower from what seems like excessive shaking. I've torqued and tightened every bolt but I can't seem to improve anything.

Has anybody had any tips or tricks to minimize shake on this tower?

Also - the pads in between the hull and tower really seems shot. Where can I pick up new ones?

Thanks.

I have the same issue on my e-series, I have tightened everything and it still shakes a bit more than I like.

I have the Samson upgrade from the E-tower and mine rattles a little in the rough stuff. surfing, I don't hear a thing. still, I wish I could tighten it up so it wouldn't do it. I was told "they all do it, you just gotta live with it". seems like a cop out

There are 2 small allen head set screws at the base of the forward legs that are prone to loosen or fall out. These need to be reset with red loc-tite. These two point seem to be the worst offenders for rattle noise. At the other contact points, a thin layer of anti-seize can cushion the squeaks.
