I have a rack and pinion helm. The system also has a power steering pump that assists with the steering.

The outdrive itself is tight. However, there is some play that is observed at the steering wheel. I shot a video of me moving the steering wheel back and forth within the range of play that I have at the wheel. The video is linked below. The camera is watching the ram back behind the engine. Is this normal play? Is there a way to tighten it up?
