Ranger R-27 - EOM Motor Mounts for Yanmar 4BY2-180

[JVSequoia]

Time to replace the motor mounts on my R27 Tug powered by a Yanmar 4BY2-180 Engine. Wondering if anyone has identified an alternate OEM compatible motor mount to replace the stock Yanmar mounts. Thanks in advance for your input.

You're looking for the Silent-Mount SM-1609-45 and SM-1609-55. I found them at BANCROFT WESTERN SALES in North Vancouver.
I also found them at Mission Sales and Supply in Texas.

2 @ 17/1609/1-45 (rear)

Plus adjuster studs:

Hi,

See here for my experience replacing the mounts on our 2011 R-27 (Yanmar). I replaced with the same "Metalastic" mounts that came out. These were far less expensive than the Yanmar mounts and as far as I could tell were the same parts. Got them from here - https://www.missionsupplyonline.com/Parts/metalastik-cushyfloat, same part numbers as listed above.

I would highly recommend adding the spacers under the mounts to keep them out of the water that tends to pool under them. It's been over two years and not a spot of rust on the new mounts.

good luck,
Brendan

What is the time interval that you are replacing the mounts?
Thank you.
