I have a 2015 2up, HO, IBR, VTS with just over 10 hours and the engine access panel rattles at idle when the ski is in the water. The panel has rattled from the first minute I took it out. If I hold my hand on the panel or slide it forward, up or down as much as possible the rattle will stop for a little while. Very annoying in an idle zone. When I speed up even a little bit, the rattle goes away.
It's difficult to tell over the engine noise but it might also rattle a little bit when sustaining speed in the 25-30MPH range.
I checked to make sure that nothing was in contact with the inside of the hull in the engine door area. There was a line running by there that was touching the hull and I used zip ties to move it away from the hull but the rattle persists.
Taking the spark for warranty work on something so minor feels like a hassle - I'd much rather be out riding. Not to mention the fact that it doesn't rattle when idling on the trailer.
Is there a quick fix for this?
Does anyone else have a 2015 with a rattling engine access panel?
