1GM10 engine mounts

[RTB]

I need to replace one engine mount on my 1GM10. Ive just seen 4 on e-bay at £100+ Is that the price of these ? And the ones on e-bay are off a 50hp engine - are they interchangeable with a 9hp ? - Feeling out of my depth here!

Yes, £100 each.

£100 for four is an absolute steal.

Is the part number listed on e-bay? If so google it and find out the compatibility. If not google 1GM engine mount. It's not hard...

You need the correct or compatible mounts. It's very unlikely that a set of engine mounts for a 50hp engine will even fit your engine and bearers, let alone that they will be the right elasticity. The 1GM10 uses quite springy mounts to allow it to dance around a bit without doing any harm. The correct Yanmar mounts are about £70 each I think. That may seem quite expensive but they should last something like a decade or more in normal use.

The ones on eBay are not compatible with a 1GM or even the 2GM or 3GM.

You are looking for 2 each of the Yanmar 50 & 70 mounts. They currently are on sale from Marine Power for about £66 each.

Hi-

No knowledge of your set up but when has that stopped people commenting on forums...

Keep away from marine outlets seems to be the key-

I use these guys. Very easy to talk to, not sales led by any means.

I'm going in person tomorrow to buy a set for a Yanmar 2QM15. £20 each!

Yanmar four times the price.

Another firm is similar.. ROBUSH? I've not use them.

No connection etc..

Thanks everybody for the replies. I think I'll just buy the one I need.

There's a wee problem just replacing the one. Sorry but they're matched for resilience and compressibility. As the mounts age, they deteriorate roughly in the same proportion so when you replace one, it upsets the balance. I went into this quite deeply when I replaced mine last season.

Of course you can keep the good old ones and in future you will be able to replace a broken one with a "used" one without upsetting the balance as much.
