Thread: steering wheel play.

This just has the single cable, not sure it's really a cable. The play is in the wheel not at the engine. It's hard to see up in the consule and I don't find any kind of adjustment.

Sure it's not hydralic steering? If so, you need to add fluid to the steering which Is found on the very center of column,, remove nut and install hydralic fluid for marine type boats,,, or if need be,transmission fluids works in a pinch,,,and a lot cheaper to boot,,,

No it's not hydraulic, Just have single cable, has to be a push-pull, or rack&pinoin. I don't think there is any adjustment. May be replacement is the cure. If that's the case the play may get worse before it gets better.

I think that you already know the answer. I can't think of any play adjustment on any I have seen. I would want to go on the safety side of this. Steering on a boat and brakes on a car, both gotta work without fail.
