Save yourself some major hassle by ensuing the new ones you buy have the same footprint.

The front two engine mounts on my 2QM15 Yanmar are, to my surprise, broken (bolts fractured...discovered when.r&r transmission to redo seals). The Yanmar manual says to replace the mounts every couple of years, and there are some great websites explaining how critical all the anti-vibration specs are. On the other hand, though mine are certainly 33 years old, with the rubber long ago hardened, I had no apparent related issues (even though they were broken - and the transmission seal issue was caused by wire wrapping itself into the aft seal). Yanmar dealers sell the engine mounts for $130 each.... which seems completely unreasonable. So I'm looking at Joe DeMers MarineDiesel Direct who sells generic replacements for $39 each http://www.ebay.com/itm/ENGINE-MOUNTS-flexible-rubber-type-motor-mounts-new-/350143804850?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&hash=item51863275b2&vxp=mtr Anybody tried them?
