Lower Unit Seized, no left/right movement

Launched my boat the other day to find out the steering was seized! its a 1997 22' cobalt with a 7.4L Mercruiser and Bravo One outdrive.

I thought it was the steering cable so I removed it but the lower unit still won't move. It also has A LOT of play in it.

Here is a video: https://youtu.be/K6iuSi4ie9c

I've been reading the user manuals and am not sure where to start. Thanks for the help!
 
Ayuh,..... The slop ya see is a known issue with Bravos,.... The top clamp is supposed to be tightened, or checked for tightness every year,.....

Ya say ya pulled the stererin' cable, 'n it's Ok,..??
Did ya pull the aft end of the cable outa the aluminum tube of the P/S actuator,..??..?? If not, do so,...
