Well its been in the water 3 times and running great. Ran about 30gal threw her. I switched to 91 ethantol free gas and fixed the dieseling. I have unfortunately found why my steering is loose. Looks like a square plastic thing on top of lower unit where steering shaft is connecting to turn is loose. Thats why its sloppy. It looks like a sleeve i could simply tighten? Idk what kinda material it is or if it would simply break something. No unusual noises or viberations, just very hard to back up straight and docking at slow speeds. Can i retorque those 2 bolts at that sleeve saftely to remove some play?
