Yeah, he could have meant that they're real noisy when barnacles have invaded the housings, and clog the the opening, effectively jamming them so they won't move.

Or he could have meant that they're noisy when you hit a sand bar with them down and snap one off.

On the other hand , he could have meant that in a major gust or heavy weather, the leeward board digs in, the boat doesn't slide and over she goes.
