??? My drives move about 6 inches
 

32 fever and my drives move about 6 inches in both directions side to side before my steering wheel moves. Any suggestions. No hydraulic steering. Bravo 1.

worn gimbal ring ,take it off and send it to JR Marine to be remachined/welded

Is it dangerous to drive this way. Do I need to pull the drive

very Dangerous , can either pull the drive & gimbal or go to JR Marine website and buy the kit and just cut the access hole and be done with it .good luck & P.M. me if ya need help and i can walk ya'll thru it done a dozen of them

I thought all 32 fevers had hydraulic stering

It is for sure not safe. That is a lot of slop, to be safe you should definetly have it looked at.

Make sure it's not in your steering cable components, before you go pulling drives and cutting holes. Do they both move freely together as 1 in unisun, or seperately like they are not connected together?

I think the early-mid 90's hyd steering was an option????

The move together freely about 5 inches without wheel turning
They both move together.

Then look at steering cable and all connections.

If the drives were able to be moved toward and out from each other, then the problem would have more likely been the steering pin and gimble ring. But doesn't sound like that's the case here. Non external hyd steering setups do have some free play, but not 6". Dig into it.

sounds like a worn rack/steering cable
