Hello guys, short version : pulled up my Donzi from the river for refueling, then noticed 4-5 inch of slack on my bravo steerndrive. Drilled and cut a hole in the housing(mercruiser emblem), an noticed slack between the swivel oin and steeringarm.
The swivelpin has no slack to the gimbalhousing, so why use a lot of money on new parts? I was thinking of drill a hole From astern true the steeringarm and into the swivelpin, then tap it, and put in a 6-8mm stainless steel bolt, this will eliminage the slack. But will it be strong enough? Thanks for all reply's and other possible solutions
