Matt or Steve,
Would you guys be willing to post a pic of what you are talking about? I have a crazy loud squeak coming from the edge of the seat where it meets the attach bar in my 2017 Mirage Outback and would really like to know how best to stop it. The pad method sounds best, but I'm not sure what you mean or how to do it. Squeaks with chair propped up or down. It's definitely on right. Loving my new eliptical-in-a-boat otherwise! The Outback has great stability for paddling and pedaling together! Thanks - ScubaMom
In my case I also found by having the front bar on a higher setting, rear still kept on low, and hence shifting my butt towards back of the seat took much of the pressure off the front rail and further reducing any creaking at the front. This does not raise your COG as might be at first thought. In fact increases ability to recline seat further back if required.
Take the seat off put your hand on that sleeve at one end of the rail, put some weight on it and twist to simulate weight of seat, and see if it creaks
