it seems like several inchesSo at least on the 2001 there isn't any adjustment on the wheel side. It's a the wheel attaches to tilt shaft that drives a pinion gear in back of the helm that then moves a rack that actuates a cable going to the transom where the power steering assists.
As far as I can tell there is no adjustment for the rack and pinion, and there is slight play of movement.
How much play do you have?
