I've had a Yamaha 30 for the last year. After a recent typhoon I noticed a lot of play in the tiller. The top flange will rotate a good 1/2 inch and the 4 screws that hold that down are stripped.
Can I fix this by just replacing the upper bushing? Can I fix this without a haul out?
I have read that play in the rudder is nothing more than cosmetic but I have my doubts about that. I don't want to loose steerage moving my boat to a repair marina.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
