I'm trying to "tighten up" my steering on my 5.5
The noticable points of slop are:

tiller connection to rudder cross bar - Loose and sloppy. I think I can solve this problem by simply tightening the bolt and or adding a nylon washer.

Pin slop in the stanchons (sp?) The pin needs to be bushed. Is there a "kit"? Have some of you made things up to bush the pins (both where they slide through the rudders, and where they slide through the loops that bolt to the boat.

Ideas are greatly appriciated!
