2007 MALIBU VLX STEERING

[NWOODBU]

I have a 2007 Malibu VLX Wakesetter 21'6",  my steering wheel has a lot of play in it, can I adjust this to take the slack out of it and how do I do this?

Check that the steering block upstream of the rudder is secure and the aluminum cable nut is tight.  Also check bolt/nut holding cable end to tiller is tight.  Under the helm there should be 4 bolts that hold the rack to the steering pinion, make sure they are tight.  If it's still loose, then you might have damage in the rudder bushings.
