I have a Yamaha 9.9hp, 4 stroke Outboard (2002) which performs great except when I move the helm wheel to Portside I get a bad vibration which I have established is on the outboard itself. All steering cables etc are ok. It sounds very much like 2 parts of the outboard are touching as they move across each other ? Has anybody experienced this problem, and if so, what is the solution. Thanks !
Thanks, its certainly worth investigating. If this is the case, does anyone know if it is much of a job. I am pretty handy with most engine diy tasks so I guess it would not phase me if it needed to be done. Any pointers would be useful.
Is this bush visible from the side of the outboard ?
