Bucaneer, I don’t think anyone can say it is easy to change motor mounts on the 9.5hp style OMC engine. There are some procedures that make it much easier than wrestling with it in the floor. This way you don’t have to pull any major components. Clamp the gearcase A/V plate in a gearcase holder. It’s nice if you have a way to move the engine up and down in this holder (you won’t be taking it out until done). By holding the engine this way you can remove the lower pans and all parts necessary to get at all of the mounts. I was looking around on Ebay after we talked the other night. All of the mounts are availble at drastically reduced pricing. I would buy new mounts. You don’t want to do this job often.
