Was getting HiJinx ready for a summer of racing and noticed something odd about the engine mounts that I had installed a couple of years back.
The rear mounts seem normal: two retaining/levelling nuts on a bolt that is mounted in a rubber foot held in place by a casting that is bolted to the engine stringers.
The front mounts appear to be the same, but are actually in two parts. The "bolt" isn't broken, but has an upper section bolted to the engine and a lower section mounted to the boat. The upper "bolt" and lower "bolt" aren't one piece and if I slightly "jack-up" the front of the engine, I can separate the two parts.
In other words: only the rear mounts are actually bolted to the boat.
Is this normal?
