Source for yanmar 2gm engine mounts?

[GuyFromTheNorth]

Working my way up the east coast of the US now and my engine mounts I believe are done. Does anyone have any tips on a source for them? I'm ok with OEM or if it's an aftermarket it has to be a drop in replacement. I'm not fiberglassing or drilling my engine beds.

I called a yanmar dealer near me and they wanted just short of 1000$ USD for all 4??

Hi I replaced mine about 5 years ago. My quote at that time for OEM was about $500 usd. I did not want to spend that much so went with some from a third party. The original Yanmar mounts are quite tall and have a large rubber vibration absorber. The ones I bought were much slimmer but only cost about $120.
I had to build up the engine base about 1 1/2 inches, with a piece of white oak, so the replacements ones would work.

It is fine but there is noticeably more vibration being transferred to the hull.

If I was doing it again I would go with the Yanmar mounts but $1k does seem rather high.


Try shopping around, but Yanmar restricts where their dealers can sell to, so it might be a bit awkward finding a source.
Good Luck
