I need some help please.
1972 53MY "Murphy's Law".
I have broken all four motor mounts holding the Detroit 8V71N port engine.
I need direction to the possible purchase of replacements.
Evidently they were OEM parts
Any help on the subjects, I would be extremely grateful .
I am hoping I am not the first to have " accomplished " this feat.
I also bent both rudders.

Re: Detroit Motor Mounts
I hate to ask but was a collision the reason for all the above?

Re: Detroit Motor Mounts
Sam's before anything else, for mounts. You may be able to get the rudder shafts straightened by a propeller shop, if not, they were probably made by Buck-Algonquin in Maryland.
If this was a collision and that much damage was done, you might think about filing a claim with your insurance company, and getting a surveyor to view the boat. Sorry this has happened to you.

Re: Detroit Motor Mounts
I had replaced my motor mounts for my 671 TIs in another boat years ago and sourced them from a company in New Jersey. Let me see if I can find that data in my archives.
I replaced mine during an out of frame rebuild.JD

Re: Detroit Motor Mounts
I have used mounts if you want to go that route. I sold one but have 5 left.

Re: Detroit Motor Mounts
They are Ace mounts (at least they were from mid/late-70's through end of production). The earlier boats were like this:
Which is probably what you have and it looks like Sams has those in stock.

Re: Detroit Motor Mounts
Can you send some pictures? Maybe of the good mounts?
May have some collecting dust.

Re: Detroit Motor Mounts
If they are the Ace 730's, I have 5 of those. But in 1972, they are most likely the ones I pictured above.
