I recently drug some rocks at modest RPM/speed and am a bit concerned, naturally. I had a skeg cover which took some good impacts. After getting the boat out of the water, I have the drive in full up position, and I can lift the drive another 1/8th in or so. I've lifted the drive before and dont remember any slack at all. It seems to be the hydraulic lift arms might have the play, but its hard to tell. Does anyone have any experience with something like this?

It's probably coming from the pin bushings on the through shaft on the rod ends of tilt cylinders. The play was probably there before.
