Ok this is the first tilt steering wheel that I have owned on a boat. It always seemed to have slop in it from day one. ” Slop is side to side and up and down movement of the wheel not much when turning the wheel ” I did find the big Philips head machine screws loose but I tightened them with lock tite about a year ago and had no more problems with them. I know it is safe because I have checked it all out several times. It is getting worse.Looks like there is to much clearance in the bronze bushing that is right behind the wheel. I have checked the steering wheels on other Bass Cats and they seem to be about the same or maybe a little less slop. I heard on here that there was an upgraded tilt? is it any better? Im about to the point of removing it which would be a major pain to move the pump in front of the console which means making a bigger hole and bleeding the steering. before I go through all of that , Has anyone found a fix for the slop? Can I upgrade the tilt? Like I said It is safe but it bugs me with the wheel moving around like it does. And others that have driven my boat alway ask if it is OK? because they notice it right away. any help from you guys would be appreciated.Last edited by txmrbass on December 28th, 2008, 2:08 am, edited 1 time in total.
