Default Outdrive Play?

Hi folks,
Last week I got a ski rope caught in my Bravo 3, No big deal at the time just unwrapped it and cut it away.
When I got home I was looking at the outdrive, and if I grab it and try and move it left to right, (Port Starboard) I have aprox an 1/8th of an inch of movement. I'm not sure if I had this play before the rope thing happened, and I also have what seems to me to be a lot of slack in the steering (power steering) if it were I car, I'd be concerned.
So if you would any Bravo Drive owners care to see how much if any movement they get when you grab is and try and move it side to side. This is out of the water engine off of course..
Thanks
Jeff
