I have a shake rattle and roll issue as well as a chronic
oil leak issue with one of my older
Yanmar 1GM10. So much so that on Saturday I pulled my starboard
engine (with a lot of help from friends). As suspected all of the
Yanmar engine mounts literally came apart during the engine extraction. So, I need new engine mounts.
I've been doing
research to locate a less expensive alternative to the expensive Yanmar engine mounts. Since I need 4 of them, this gets a little pricey (the admiral is grinding her teeth). So far, I've found two alternatives.
Barr
Marine Inc. engine mounts part number BAR 800001 seem to be reasonably priced. As are Engine Mounts by Bushings Inc.. Part number DF2205-2.
The Barr
Marine Inc. mounts are fitted by measurements, so I'm going to remeasure my old mounts to verify I have the dimensions correct. Bushings Inc. actually had a conversion table on their website and these are called drop in
replacements.
My question is: Has anyone used either of these mounts? Is there info on whether these are good/bad?
Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I'm dealing with the
oil leak today and am going to adjust the valves as well.
