That’s an interesting video, I’d buy Ellebogen based on that load test. The problem with Yanmar mounts is that the
steel parts corrode and the rubber
parts company with the frame, they’ll still support the
engine well enough but certainly not in the rare event that the
boat rolls over. Following the catastrophic
Sydney Hobart
race the
equipment rules were amended after the damages sustained were investigated,
batteries were a major problem in the rough conditions and now must be sealed and very substantially secured, I wonder if the
engine mounts were part of this investigation.
