    The front part of the piece normally has a bunch of cables and wires zip tied to it. Get under there and look for something hard or metal against the piece. Rearrange or move the offending cable/wire.

    Do you have a radio in the dash?

    No radio, My local dealer will probably not be happy I didn't buy from him so I will get up under there and see whats going on.
    Thanks for the responses

    Was wandering how local dealers deal with issues if say you buy from out of state dealer. I’m soon gonna be making a purchase and most likely will have to go out of state.

    If a dealer is a decent guy and wants your business from the service side then he will be more than happy to help.

    People that buy from a local dealer usually get taken care of first they'll get to your boat when they get to it. My local dealer is
    a really nice guy and has always taken care of me but he didn't take trades so I had to buy else where so we will see. I don't want
    to take the boat in for just a rattle unless I have to kinda of a pain I always take everything out of the boat if its going to sit at the dealership.

    it depends on the dealer how they manage boats sold from outside their territory. We try to get all to accept that and we have some that are resistant, though most of our dealers do try to work together.

    The rattle should be an easy find and something laying in the console that has contacted glass most likely. If you don’t find it we would be glad to help.

    There's a light under the dash with a bezel around it and it is not tight against the fiberglass so I think that is the rattle I'll try to put a rubber washer under it.

    Buy a bulk bag of 8" zip ties. Youll find places all over to use them. Keep a few in the boat as well for emergency
