slack in bushings somewhere

[gejandsons]

Johnson 15r76r
15 HP 1976 model Johnson.

Motor seems to move forward & back & side to side when tiller handle is held in one place...the lower pivot point does not have any slack. But here is a lot at the top..Any idea what part needs to be changed?

Could be the upper motor mounts.

Look for part # 5 on the parts break down, page down and will tell you upper mount. Check that out before tearing into it.
