Hi,
I have a Mercury 115 EFI 2001 outboard fitted with a side mounted seastar hydraulic steering cylinder.
I noticed there is a some free play in the connection between the cylinder rod and the drag arm. The nut and washer seem to be secure and correctly in place. I had a look at the application manual available here http://ww2.seastarsteering.com/PDFs/PDF_files.htm. It does not seem to contain a description requiring any bushing to reduce the gap.
The free play is probably enough to allow a 1/8'' sideways free play of the prop.
Is this supposed to be like that? Any suggestions?
