Hi Sonosailor.
I've made a new category called "Yacht Maintainance & Boat Building" and moved your image there.

Anyone with ideas of more categories? Just post the ideas to the suggestion-forum or send me an e-mail

How can you tell the amount of sag?

They're telling you to replace every two years? What are these made of, foam rubber? They don't look much different than auto motor mounts. If these are failing that fast I think I'd look around for something of better quality. All they are is rubber valcanized to steel plate. For C$200 with 6 units you could have your own custom made for that price. I have a 50 HP Diesel in my bigger vessel and the motor mounts have been in there since 1981 (6500 hrs.)and I be giving them one more season. They're mostly rusty.

Is that a crack on the engine bed/stringer?
