Bravo III Outdrive Wobble

[kai330]

While adjusting the trim limit pucks on my outdrive, I noticed more slop in the port side than was in the starboard side. How much should I be able to wiggle the outdrives before worrying?

The boat is a 2003 with about 340 hours on it.

A little is acceptable. You might try to torque down the two nuts at the top of the gimbal ring. Spec. is 50-55 ft. lbs.

Thanks. I'll get out the torque wrench and see if it snugs it up a bit.

Cheers!
