I did some searching here at it seems that most of the time the slop is caused by a worn gimbal ring. Is it possible to look up at the bottom of the swivel shaft (drive removed) and see if the glimbal ring and swivel shaft have slop? Reason I ask is that I can detect no slop at all between those two parts, they move together like one solid piece, yet I have a few degrees of steering slop between the steering lever and the gimbal ring. Could my problem be as simple as a loose steering lever pinch bolt? I'd hate to pull the engine and remove the transom assembly only to discover I had the perfect candidate for drilling and plugging...
