For folks who have a 360, does yours make a clicking noise? I took a video below. Drive has made this noise since I got it, has maybe 10 hours on it now. I've watched all of the videos on tightening the global adjuster and the cables, so think everything is dialed in. I've also added some marine grease as well to the cables. Just want to see if this is normal or not.

I'm not able to view your video but I read on another forum someone had the same sound and it turned out to be a simple as one of the fins not fully re seated from its kick up and it makes a clicking noise when it hits the other fin.

Thanks! Do you know where you saw that? I'm looking at the manual and not really sure how it wouldn't be seated right but would be great if it was that simple!

Fins should be locked into the pivot point and held secure. If a fin falls aft (Kicks up) it may not be locking correctly. Pedaling forces the fins forward, but some force is required to push it into the locked position. Manually pulling the fin forward to lock may be required.

Thanks! That doesn't seem to be the issue. Fins seem to lock in place fine.
