Thanks again for all of the help. I called Teleflex and they explained to me how to get play out of the steering mechanism. The play at the back of the motor is down to zero (was 1 inch) and the play at the steering wheel is around 1.5 - 2 inches. The Teleflex guy said 1.5 inches to each side is normal.

This week I am taking the boat to have the motor raised up on the jack plate. I am a teacher and school starts tomorrow, so hopefully I will be able to get out on the water before the end of the season.
That steering should make driving it much easier, and you'll get a much better feel, I'll be expecting to see you at the River Run :boating:

Sorry for a random question but is that the original blue color or your viper? Im removing a crappy white paintjob from a previous owner and the color underneath appears to be very similar to the color of yours.

Yes the blue is the original color. It is a bit faded but I try to keep it as shiny as possible :D
