Yes. Going to have to figure something out. Lash it up from above or something. I see some good prices for used bravo 1. People who have 100% satisfaction.

In the video he doesn't change the steering arm, but if there is play replace it. Just messing around I took my old steering arm and put it on the new pin in the vise and tightened it, still had play until the bolt snapped.

I live in Gresham and spend a great deal time on the Columbia River. We launch at chinook park boat ramp off marine drive near Blue Lake. We have been to many lakes in state and out of state.
Thanks for your reply!!

No I want to do it myself just trying to get as much information as I can. If I had a dealer or mechanic do it it would be a boatload of money so to speak. Lol.

I seem to have slack in the helm on my '97 Baja. It seems to be a power assist set up with the cable actuating the ram inside the boat. There's some slop in the wheel before the cable even moves and everything on the back end seems snug enough. Any way to tighten the helm slack?
