I had missed the front upper motor mount on MarineEngine last night,
but after seeing it in person today, I found it in the Powerhead Group.

If I spend $99 dollars on a motor I don’t want or need the world is coming to an end.
I did learn a bit ago that my 1971 Johnson 9.5 that’s “froze up” has the same mount.
I’m not sure what to think about the mount I remove, seeing how the rubber is still
attached to both metal plates yet.
What would happen if I installed a chunk of garden hose over each post on the mount?
It may limit travel of the shaking powerhead, and prevent any metal to metal knock.
Seeing how I’m not seeing anything obviously wrong with the mounts, I’m wondering
it the motor was running on one cylinder seven years ago, hence the shaking.
But from what I remember, it sounded okay when “wound up”.
Prepare to be boarded!
