The front two engine mounts on my 2QM15 Yanmar are, to my surprise, broken (bolts fractured...discovered when.r&r transmission to redo seals). The Yanmar manual says to replace the mounts every couple of years, and there are some great websites explaining how critical all the anti-vibration specs are. On the other hand, though mine are certainly 33 years old, with the rubber long ago hardened, I had no apparent related issues (even though they were broken - and the transmission seal issue was caused by wire wrapping itself into the aft seal). Yanmar dealers sell the engine mounts for $130 each.... which seems completely unreasonable.
So I'm looking at Joe DeMers MarineDiesel Direct who sells generic replacements for $39 each http://www.ebay.com/itm/ENGINE-MOUNTS-flexible-rubber-type-motor-mounts-new-/350143804850?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&hash=item51863275b2&vxp=mtr Anybody tried them?
