Long time reader, first time poster. I noticed a slight leak coming from what I though was the gimbal housing cover seal (maybe a drop every few seconds). I did put a new o-ring in and put some extra silicone along with that and sealed it up. This did not work, and I am convinced the leak (after reading a thread from 2012 on here) has me convinced it is the o-ring in the pivot assembly from underneath. Assuming it was the gimbal housing cover, I never checked to see if the steering arm was torqued tight enough. I am wondering if pulling the boat (slipped) and torquing the steering arm bolt would help compress the lower o-ring. The thrust washer seems a bit loose under the steering arm so I'm thinking it is a little loose. Any advise here from a seasoned expert or someone that has experience with this. Just wondering if there is a chance this may work, otherwise, I will have to schedule the repair at the shop. Thanks for any help!
