I have noticed some engine vibrations on my KAD44s and given the age of the boat, I think replacement mounts might be appropriate. Has anyone changed these particular mounts and were there any practical considerations to be taken into account?
I intend to do this when the boat is out of the water and I have heard of owners using scissor jacks to lift the engines. The engine bay is pretty tight on a Targa 37 and I think this might be a bit of a challenge. Any help on sourcing replacement mounts would also be appreciated.

A Fairly easy job when it’s your day job .
Targa 37 can be a challenge, take height measurement from bearer to horizontal bracket from engine block .
You might need the vertical posts and new nuts as well , remove the storage box on the starboard side to gain better access , while your in that area you can check the oil cooler that side as they are renown for leaking salt water , as they are difficult to spot from above .

Obviously your vibration could be related to other issues like a missfire .
