Yanmar Motor Mount Replacement

[pwilliams]

Found the right/rear engine mount broken during pre-cruise checks prior to a coastal trip SF Bay to Half Moon Bay in northern California. Does anyone know anything preventing me from removing and r

eplacing the broken mount?

FYI, it showed no prior signs of fatigue (no visible cracks).

The engine is a 11 year old Yanmar 4JH2-HTE 76 HP turbo w/ intercooler w/ 2100 hours on it.

Thanks

This looks like it bolts on to the back of the engine. Perhaps the mount can be replaced or easily fabricated.

That's not the mount itself. it's the support bracket for the mount. I see it broke on the bend. It may have fatigued at the factory. Just unbolt it and install a new one. Then check your shaft alignment.

Just curious. Were you getting alot of vibration. How did you discover it? Looks simple to change. Some are much more difficult I would think. Good luck
