[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 445841, member: 21536"] I probably didn't explain this well. There is no "play" between the steering wheel and the outboard. Here is the "real life" example of what happens. I go to the right rear of the boat to adjust a down rigger. I'm not holding the steering wheel. The boat will lean (list) to the right because my weight is to the right. The outboard will pivot to the right and the steering wheel will turn accordingly. If I sit on the left, same thing except to the left side. I would just like some tension or dampening on the steering system so the outboard will not fall off to one side or the other when I'm not holding the wheel. Again, talking about slow trolling -- not at speed. I guess I could "lash" the wheel like Horatio Hornblower used to do, but checking with a dealer is be a better option. Thanks! PS: No one better tell me the solution is to go on a diet. Haha. [/QUOTE]
