I can take steering wheel in my hands and move it up , down and sideways (1/4 inch). I do not have any play if I pull on it, except for the other movements. Lock nut is tight. Is there other bolts inside steering column I can tighten? I haven't been able to get steering wheel off yet, tried wheel puller, to take a look at how it works.It almost seems its loose all the way to the steering wheel adjustment lever. anyhelp would be appreciated. Dealer 65 miles away.
Thanks!
A friend had the same problem withhis i class.Took it back to the dealer and they replaced th entire steering column and all attachments.

The boat is a 2003 ZX 250. You might be right it may need the dealer to replace the whole column. I would think that would cost me a arm and a leg.
DO you have tilt steering? Check the tension of the joint. You can pull back the accordian rubber and see the joint and see if it's in there. I had one I had to tighten a hair to reduce play.

Yes I do Doug. I will check it out and get back to you. Thanks
Doug: I pulled the rubber back and got a good look. It appears everything is tight. . The gear ratchet for the adjustable steering had no movement. When I move the steering wheel back and forth the play seems to be inside the alumium housing, nothing I can see on the outside moves, except on the inside.
I have a Triton that did that afterit was about 3 mths old and I took it to the dealer and Triton where they said nothing wrong, Then they fixed it (after several trips in the shop) 2 weeks later it locked up.... so get it checked
