Please forgive me in advance for being a novice.
I bought this boat last June and was commisioned with No problems. 1989 Monterey 1900 Cuddy Cabin 5.0 Merc. I have a Alpha One outdrive. The boat is in the shop and the mechanic says it could need a gimbal ring? The outdrive moves horizontally left to right with some slack in it, about an 1" each way. :% The boat does have power steering. I was told the steering play is coming from not having a "load" on it.
There has to be something other than the gimbal ring that's bad and possibly cheaper?
