I replaced my original Yanmar mounts a couple years ago (probably four or five). I also use the Drive Saver from PYI. Self-aligned and no issues to date.

Interesting but I have to tell you I have had regular flexible mounts and a Drive Saver flexible coupling on my boat for 15 years with no problems. Others may wish to comment.

If an engine has flexible mounts then it must have a solid not flexible coupling and vice versa. I made that mistake when I repose red my last boat and the coupling destroyed itself with extreme prejudice in a couple of hours of running. Everything was aligned but the two components worked against each other. I learned later that this is an inflexible rule ;-) sorry I can't provide a reference but my painful experience bears it out. The original had a solid mount and flexible coupling and the new engine had flexible mounts so I used the very substantial coupling. Don Newman C&C 44
