How big of an issue is this?

1990 Johnson 15 hp tiller. I feel like this motor has lots of slop in it. I’m guessing bad motor mount. How big of a deal is this? I’ve never fixed one, I’m happy to learn and complete the job but didn’t know if this is something that must be fixed or not?

Yes a bad motor mount. Need to pull the powerhead to replace and they are pricey

That's what I suspected unfortunately.
