It's a problem when moving slowly. I had a mechanic look at it and say it's within range of normal. It's been some time since I have been boating, but I don't remember having that type of play in the steering. Any help would be appreciated.

I saw this the other day and was going to post, but I got busy eating BBQ.
In any case, are you saying you can move your steering wheel an inch and a half either way before the motor begins to move? If so, I think that's absolutely normal—I've only been on a few vessels, but I don't recall any being so tight there's no play.
