I have a Ghost on my 2023 BassCat. It make a creeking noise (sort of a grinding) when I turn. Sounds like the noise comes from the the motor head. Any thoughts on how to fix the isses? Thanks!

Ghosts are imfamous for above the water noise - typically from the mount. There are several points you can lube to see if it corrects the issue - see the video below.
You can also put some moleskin or similar on the rail where the upper mount rests on the lower mount - that is also a source of noise when turning as the top frame rocks back an forth.
And lastly, it might the the 360 coil bracket - this is what it turned out to be on mine, and I had to send it to an ASC.
