Maybe cause I just uploaded it and YouTube hasn't reviewed it?

Anyhow. I can take the bottom of my skeg and move the left side of the drive up and down in the transom ring. Wtf is broke?

I measured from the bottom of the skeg and I can move the skeg to the left just under a 1/2" inch. Left bushing appears to be mopped.

Thing I can get this weekend out of it?

Probably the hinge bushing(#4 in the pic). But if you can move it that much it could be a loose hinge pin and/or a wobbled out hole in the gimbal ring. Pull the cap and take a look, should be two phillips head screws. Take note of where the screws line up as the cap is also the limit switch adjustment.
