Swim Platform Slap - Reduce?

[deeman7777]

I have a 2007 Rinker 280 EC which is new to me.
This boat has an integrated swim platform which happens to sit pretty low to the water.
While at anchor, the swim platform slaps pretty hard (even with the bow pointed to the wind).

Someone mentioned using a pool noodle to help but I can't picture how / where to tie or secure a pool noodle.

Any suggestions to alleviate the swim platform slap?

Thanks!

I live on the Bay. Water slapping can be soothing, after you get used to it.

Does it just sit low or is it sitting low because it is water logged. I only ask because at that age and being new to you there can be some underlying issues making things worse.

It's anything but soothing, lol. It's a good jolt, slap when it's happening.

Add more beer to the cooler in the bow. It will tilt the boat a bit bow forward, and after a few..... You won't care

Agree with above, hull wave slap is soothing

I've got an '04 Rinker 232. My swim platform also sits right at water level. It's been that way all 8 years I've owned it so I think it's normal height. I don't really think it makes much of a slap though. There is a hole on each side where air whooshes out when it goes down in the water after a wake passes or something. Does yours have the holes?
