Haven't had an issue with the steering on this boat... I think the steering rack is behind the engine... most likely will have outer and inner tie rod ends where the sloppiness stems from...
Ill take a closer look, and will report back.

I found this area with the only link type connection...
Not sure if the kimbal bearing can cause that issue... However, both areas will firm up on acceleration due to prop torque...
Thanks ill try to take a video of the motion in that area and see if theres any obvious slop, wont be able to for a few weeks, but better to look at it before its in the water
