I have a problem. My h40.5 is 15 years old and for the last couple of years (I'm not exactly sure when it started) I get a creaking/squeaking sound when the boat is rocking in a moderate sea. Sleeping is almost out of the question in the aft cabin. The creaking seems to be coming from the aft bulkhead or the shelves, or the hanging lockers in the aft cabin. Even the bulkhead between the aft cabin and he engine seems to creak. But mostly the noise seems to come from the aft bulkhead. If I put my fingers bridging the bulkhead and the overhead fiberglass trim I can feel some movement between them at the same time as hearing the creaking noise. There are no visible fasteners to tighten.
There doesn't seem to be any creaking that originates in any place forward of the aft cabin.
I am at a loss to figure out how or what to tighten to eliminate this noise.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and know how to solve it?
