I have a '13 LSV and the swim platform is lose and rattles in and out of water. Is it designed to like this? Each bracket has two set screws that are almost screwed in all the way. Any suggestions?

Common problem. Search the forums for various fixes. Most solutions use a wedge in the bracket between the boat and the platform. Composite shims, aluminum and other materials have been used.

I've got a shim in mine.

+1 on that. Many posts on Moomba and Supra sites.
I used the composite shims from Lowes

You can also upgrade to the 14 brackets. I did this and I am much happier with the platform now.

I did the upgrade as well on my Mojo... Much better but still not rock solid. At least you can't hear/feel thaw platform wobbling when rollers hit you...used to drive me crazy!

Are these the shims you are talking about?

that is what I have tried and they work pretty good. Much better with the shim in there.
