Crew can't man deck gun

I did a search, but nothing addresses the particular problem here.
I'm playing vanilla, and regardless of what the weather is, I can't get the crew to man the deck or flak gun. When I click on the Deck Officer & choose the "Crew on Deck" option, the resulting icon choices are all greyed out except for the "Watch Crew" option, even with the weather report indicating Clear skies, no precipitation, no fog, and wind at zero meters per second.
When I drag a crew member onto one of the deck gun slots on the crew screen, a dialog box opens up saying "Can not man the guns when in rough waters", even with zero wind speed.
I tried modifying the NSS_Uboat7b.cfg file to up the limit on wind speed, etc, as outlined in several posts here, but this had no affect; ie: still all options greyed out except "Watch Crew".
I have not attempted to man the gun(s) myself yet, but even if that works, it still doesn't address the problem of getting the crew to man the gun(s).
Anyone had this problem & found a solution to it? Thanks.
