I noticed a creaking noise, apparently from a hardtop stantion or support brace while drifting in rolling seas. I tightly gripped the stantion where the noise appeared to be coming from and felt a slight sensation when hearing the noise, although no apparent movement or looseness at welds or where stantions are bolted to gunnels. Everything seemed tight. Anyone have any idea where the noise may be coming from?
 
Tightening the 4 nuts on underside of gunnel seemed to have done the trick.
