check for play in the steering cable adn in the gimbal ring. Most I/o boats have some play in each location. You are going to have some play regardless if you have power steering, but check the gimbal ring bolts, adn check the steerig cable. there is also the posibility of play in teh steering arm, but its a PITA to tighten. Just try to not chase the wheel, leave it in one place and it will come back around. Most boats with deep entrys do it. I used to work at a Sea Ray dealership and allmaost every new boat under 26 feet would do it, all the customers would complain about it when they brought their boat in for the first service
