One other thing to check is the steering arm. If it's considerably rusted and pitted, it may be ready to fail. On the Mercs, at least the '90s V6s, you have to pull the powerhead to replace the swivel pin/steering arm, so it's bout a $1,000 repair unless you can do it yourself.
That's what phatcracker saw last Summer on my 1991 pre-stainless steering arm on my 130 Yamaha. The arm snapped! Motor would not die though........
