Finished the upgrades on our RT 27. Motor mounts were cracked where the lag screws go thru for the Yanmar 180. Replaced all 4 mounts and realigned the engine. Also had a steering leak and found the 1.2 Liter pump housing was cracked. Had been very disappointed in the way the boat swam when underway and hard to control, and always adding oil. Installed a new 2.0 Liter pump, and on the weekend trip to the Out Station was a whole new boat, and handling was greatly improved both on Auto Pilot and while Hand steering, was able to manauver at the docks with minumim Thruster use.
