It isn't loose at all... it's just lubricated extremely well.

If I'm motoring along in my tub with my 55 evvy, whether wide open or just putting along, if I remove my hand from throttle, the motor slides right or left with absolutely no effort at all.

What can I do to tighten up the steering to the point where the boat continues straight forward instead of immediately turning left or right?

Any info is greatly appreciated!

Thank you, Kindly! I appreciate your guidance.

When I get a few more dollars together at the same time (LOL) I will buy myself a users manual
