lI am at a loss as to how a bolt comung throught the transom into the outdrive is exposed in a way where you can grab it and wiggle it.
but my imagination on the suject is limited.
Agreed. He must be talking about an outdrive nut. No bolts go through the transom to the outdrive.
The gimbal bolts go through the transom through the inner transom plate. I may have misunderstood the OP and presumed he was talking about the nut/washer on that lower bolt.
Let’s hope it’s not the transom.
