    Hello All, Had the engine hoisted back in again only to find that the three holes I tried putting the lag screws in were completely stripped. I'm more than a little pissed right now as lag screws are a poor idea in the first place to hold the engine mounts down for a few reasons. Lag screws...

    We are about to do some serious fall maint. and one of things on the list is reducing the vibration from the engine. My contact at the boat yard advises that 18 years and 1700 hours of run time would indicate that the original mounts are hardened and no longer doing much to dampen vibrations...
