I have a 1982 Sea Ray 16ft. with a Mercruiser 120 with same era outdrive. I took the outdrive off for winter and am now about to put it back on, and grabbed hold of my bell housing and notices that it shifts back and forth, I would say approximately 1/8" to 1/4". I decided to pull off the trim senders and replace them because I read that if only your trailer switch works, then one has gone bad, so I decided to replace both. Anyways, back to the question, when I pulled off the trim senders I noticed that the hinge pins are actually moving left and right. I believe that they are tight, but will not know until I get my little tool, but can anyone tell me if this movement is normal? Thanks, once again, in advance!
