I'm in the process of replacing my 32 year old 2GM yanmar with the
newer "used" 2GM 20F. The engines have the same foot print, "so I’m
told" my old engine mounts are the aluminum type, kind of round with a
rubber core. The newer engine has a bonded rubber center with a steal
top separated with rubber and a steal bottom. The later ones seam the
best mounts. The ones in the boat work but there old?
My question is how hard will it be to realign the engine if I go to a
complete new mount? The mounts in the boat could receive the new
engine with very little if any adjustment to the mount heights? I have
never aligned an engine in a boat? I am doing the engine swap with the
boat in the water not on the hard…
Check out the link and you can see a photo of both mounts.
Any advise I will thank you in advance. I want to do it right.
