motor mounts

[citabriatom]

Does anyone make motor mounts that are more rigid than stock but not solid?Thanks,Tom

[NNT]

sems like some urethane bushings would be perfect for this type of request.

Where's a good place to get 'em?

Put in the solid mounts. You won't even notice the difference in the vibration in the boat.

Why use a solid mount?

[TAXXIVADER]

WHY NOT.?:D fitting the solid mounts will give a lot better feel to the steering & handling .

you will also notice any chine walkin you had be minimized.

you may feel a bit more vibration through the boat whilst ya runnin the engine wit the boat on the trailor , but once your in the water most of this seems to get absorbed.

Once again, I am no longer a machinist, and I miss it! I need to buy a lathe! Now, can anybody on here make me a set for an old Merc inline 1500? The ride got a bit scarry when the rubber broke apart!

Thanks Mike! I'm gonna try to talk to an old boss of mine, he might just let me have use of a machine for a while. For the time being, I'm just going to swap rams with a different motor, just so I can enjoy today! The CV16 just skips across the water with the 1500! Nothing even close to what you guys do, but now I see why you do it! Speed is addicting!
