I watched a 2 cylinder Yanmar in a Schock 35 fire up with these mounts, looked like Elvis at his wildest. I couldn't think that having the shaft shake like that could be good.

The black ones are Yanmar OEM. The others could be from anywhere. Hutch from PYI calls the Yanmar ones "marsh mellow mounts". They do a great job with vibration BUT they have no mechanical attachment between the two plates. If (and when) the bond between the rubber and metal fails you will find your engine no longer "mounted". Yanmar even suggests wire tying the top and bottom halves together. For anyone with a dripless shaft seal the "softness" of these mounts can allow leakage during heavy forward thrust.
