    There are bushings on the steering arm that passes through the swivel bracket.

    There are also bushings on the tilt-tube.

    You also have upper and lower motor mounts that could fail and cause the condition. A little troubleshooting is in order to determine what is at fault.

    If you want a good understanding of the above, purchase a factory service manual or take it to a good Evinrude tech for inspection.
