The seat on my new 2015 Outback squeaks incessantly while I am pedaling. Any thoughts on how to reduce the noise? I troll a lot, and it's getting nerve wracking! Of course, the noise is scaring the fish which is why I'm not catching any....

I had the same issue with my 2013 PA-14 seat....finally tried "Pure Silicone Lubricant" spray from Ace Hardware.......that did the job. "Liberally" spray the seat and back, make sure you cover the aluminum frame rails where the material wraps around it.....let air dry for an hour and then I wiped the surfaces with an old t-shirt. No MO-Squeak
