Is there any way to get the slop out of an older Ghost? It seems the joints have worn at the pins and it creaks. and has play. Is there a bushing kit or something to tighten things up?

I changed the busing in mine a few months ago. It did help. The whole process took about 3-4 hours. Probably a lot less next time around. The biggest issue is trying to figure out which bushing to get. There were no parts diagrams that I found at the time. I took a couple of trips to the ASC to get them all. Good luck.
There's been a few other threads about this. Mine had the same problem after about 6 months of use. It's at a certified service center being looked at now.
Call Lowrance. They need to hear about this from everyone having the problem. Allowing this to happen and not addressing the issue is inexcusable.

I think that a "Bushing Kit' would be a great idea.
There are lots of service kits for the ghost. Call a Ghost repair dealer or a Lowrance Dealer and they can help you. The link below is lots of them but not all.
