I wonder why they don't powder-coat or rust proof those iron engine mounts? The SS version is nice but expensive. In one year they'll be covered in rust.
Hello Steve- I’m doing other work on the engine and transmission and traveling quite a bit. Hope to be running the engine within the next 3 weeks. Will let you know. I’m also adding a sigma drive SD55 to the shaft to absorb any mis-alignment of the shaft - gear. The sigma drive advertises up to 3 degrees of mis- alignment or variation due to hull flexing.
There are many reviews of users of these mounts in Facebook group such as: facebook.com/groups/465795967682309/?ref=share Users that have posted in their website: www.athene-tour.com/2012/engine-mounts If you want to have case studies and practical cases:www.ellebogen.com/en/blog/ I am the owner of the company, I am also a passionate for Sailing. So if you have questions let me know. I also have a TH-cam channel where I give visual instructions in the process: th-cam.com/channels/eylwyqa_wS3WiaSPOsraSw.html

Great to know - how are the results in the boat? Less vibration? Were you able to align the shaft relatively easily? Cheers!
