slop in steering

[rhuble64]

I have a Proline 20 c/c with a teleflex steering system. There is a lot of play in the steering. It makes it hard to control the boat in rough water. Does anyone have any ideas on how to take up slack? thanks!!!

Re: slop in steering

is it rack..cable...when you turn the wheel look aft, how far can you turn the wheel before the motor starts to move?

slop is at the steering wheel, hooked up to a rude 120 v4

with a 120..chances are its Teleflex cable...in front of the motor theres a steel bar connected to an arm..cant you see that move when you turn the wheel?...buddy,your not making this easy for us.we need information or pictures, were not magicians.

Re: slop in steering

the rack gears are probably worn - giving you too much free play , how olds the craft ? may be time to visit iboats parts catalog

Re: slop in steering

the craft is a 1982, the slop is not at the motor, it is at the wheel, under the dash.
