Renew engine mounts

[Caladh]

Looking to do this before next season for my Yanmar 4Jh-te . Does anyone recommend anything other than Yanmar proprietry, or R &D, Vetus or other ?

I have seen on the Facebook Yanmar Owner's Group that a few Yanmar owners have fitted new mounts from ellebogen.com

Not used them myself but others seem happy as far cheaper than original.

I tracked down the mounts for my Bukh from AVindustrialproducts.co.uk

Be aware that in many cases the front and rear mounts may be different hardness

They are on my 3GM30F. I think as supplied they were the same hardness but when I experienced vibration they were swapped for the alternative harder aft ones. This was 20 years ago, so the detail is a bit hazy.

I just bought some from Ellebogen for my 2GM20F. I haven't fitted them yet, so can't comment on performance. I bought them on the basis of being a drop in replacement that comes at half the price of the Yanmar mounts.

Fitted two engines with replacement mts. The R&D ones are much lower that the Yanmar ones, so need spacers to raise them. I found 30x60 galvanized tube worked well, with bits of ss tube slid in to stop the mounting bolts compressing the rectangular tube. Price was about 25% of Yanmar
