How to Replace Yanmar Motor Engine Mounts and Realign Shaft

While anchored off of Grand Cayman, I replaced all four of my Yanmar 3JH2E motor mounts and realigned my engine shaft/coupler. If you have a "dripless" on your shaft, you're gonna like this little underwater trick for realignment. Stainless steel mounts built by Oceanic Innovations. Boat type: Pacific Seacraft 34'.

One note: the two mounts on the torque loaded side of the engine need to be a harder rubbber. They have a number rating value. I believe they are differentiated by blue color as opposed to orange. Nice tip to remove the bracket from the engine rather than hoisring it clear.

Glad to hear my little video has been useful for you. Good luck!

Nice! Thanks for the link to the SS motor mounts. I like the fact that they have more vibration dampening as well.

I would put anti seize on the stud threads top and bottom.keeps stainless from galling and if it was steel keeping the rust from forming.that white hose by the shaft coupling should be moved or super secured.good video 👍👍👍

Boat looks familiar. PSC 34? Gotta do mine. Thanks for sharing.

[@sailingrumi3587]

That's correct. She is a PSC 34, you have the same?

[@jamieyz]

@@sailingrumi3587 I do.

Nice video! Why isn't there flexible coupling between engine and shaft?

Thanks! 🙏

Your coupling should have moved aft to get off of the spigot. That is the machined bit that mates with the engine coupling, that is why you can not see light between the mating surfaces.

I have to assume you used A.I. to eliminate harsh old English language, bleeding, sweating, and skinned knuckles that accompany this kind of job when I do it. Nice work anyway.

Thanks! Yes I definitely had to edit out my sailor mouth lol. Appreciate the feedback, hope the video helped.
