Grab the handhold on the hanging locker and push and pull and you’ll replicate the creak. I fixed this last winter by cutting out the liner inside the hanging locker and tabbing the bulkhead to the deck. will post pics and details to my 33-2 blog this weekend. Dave - 33-2 Windstar.

The boat is overall in very good shape but I did notice creaking when walking on the deck slightly forward of the bulkhead whilst at dock. We were out in heavy seas (25 knots) on our last trip reaching through waves and the creaking was quite noticeable down below. There are no soft spots and from visual and audible inspections I don’t see any signs of delamination. Also no signs of water ingress. I’m thinking that the joint between the bulkhead and deck may have come loose and was wondering if anybody has experienced the same, and would be curious to hear any suggestions on how to remedy the issue. Thanks! Andy
