    Slack in Steering

    It seems that there is slack in the steering. The lower unit will move back and forth about 5 inches from side to side before the steering wheel turns. Does this seem normal or is there away to adjust it. Its a 93 4.3LX 18 foot Mariah with MC Alpha 1 gen two.

    Out drive
