Thanks John I saw that PYI had mounts so I was going down to the boat
tomorrow AM and get some measurements. The boat is still in the water so I
guess I should haul out and check the cutless. Yes please send me any
information. I am guessing you had a yard do this.

Oh the PYI site wants information on how much weight each motor mount is
rated for. Seems if the originals were too soft they were rated wrong, go
figure? Can you also tell me where you purchased the replacements?

Subject: [Baba-L] Volvo MD11D motor mounts

Does anyone else have a MD11D in their Baba 30? The reason I am asking: Have
you had problems with motor mounts. I was motoring this afternoon and blew
all the rubber vibration suppression (4) on the coupling. Emailed Mr. Perry
and he said some of the motor mounts were to "soft" back then and may have
contributed to the failure. Any one had to change theirs due to softness?
This was the second time I blew them. Looking at replacing with R&D Flex
Coupling.

Chuck Hi Chuck i had to replace all 4 mounts last fall on my md11d one
was bad caused my cutless bearing to gd bad had to replace the whole deal
mounts/shaft/stuffing box the replacements look like hardrubber donuts
steel top /bottom ill try and get apart# if it will help.
