Can push alpha one drive to one side by hand

[CaptainYARRR]

When buying a boat, I was told that you want a firm outdrive that doesn't wiggle to either side when you grab it by hand.

I had to fix a problem with my trim today and I fixed that. I gave the outdrive a yank to one side by hand and it pushed all the way to the left. It won't go to the right at all.

What's going on here? Is this something to worry about or something that needs fixed?

Thanks!

That's normal for power steering on boats.
