I have a 99 Baja Boss Hammer with a 7.4mpi and a Bravo One outdrive. When driving the boat at low speeds(between5-10 mph)the boat wants to wander from side to side. You have to do a lot of correcting to try and keep it straight, and this doesn't seem to work. When I checked the lower unit for play you can move it side to side about 1" with out the steering wheel moving. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be the problem and what would you suggest to fix and or replace. Thanks
Look on the back of your drive there is 2- 9/16 nut just behind the top cap.Tighten those down you will probablly get a few turns out of each one.Then try moving the drive back and forth by hand see if that helps.If look closely there you will see there is a shaft in there and those 2 nuts are attached to a u bolt and will tighten down chances are the gimbal ring is wearing around that shaft.pretty common.
