Tighten those two nuts at the top of the gimbal facing aft. Do it every season.

the right way is to loosen them and then torque evenly to

You can remove the lower swivel shaft by removing the cotter key. The shaft is probably worn out. It also has a bushing that can also be worn out. I can post some pictures if you like.
