By the time a sailed and then was towed into Van Isle Marina in Sidney BC, the water flow recovered on its own. But he was very thorough, extremely knowledgeable and had an ear for diesels. So, I decided to take a day or two out of our cruise north this year to have him do the mounts and my semi annual service. He swears by Poly Flex mounts out of Australia. IMO, Aussie sailing stuff is usually topnotch. Cheaper than the Yanmar ones too.. so, that’s what I’ll be getting.

Some race regulations actually require wire or chain ties to restrain the top and bottom parts should the rubber fail. PYI makes a replacement mount which is positively captured so that even if the rubber breaks down the mount can't separate. The leading cause of the rubber to fail is fuel saturation. The PYI mounts are designed with a metal shroud to shield the rubber. I ran into Yanmar mounts that were soft enough that the thrust of the prop drove the engine forward. There was enough movement that it opened up the dripless shaft seal. Granted the seal was old and needed tightened or replaced but it was still quite telling to see the fountain of water. I would guess that the engine was shifting about 1/2". PYI calls the Yanmar mounts "marshmallow mounts" and they are designed as such to minimize noise and vibration. I can't sat that I'm upset by the noise and vibration of the PYI mounts.
