Motor mounts

After much weeping and gnashing of teeth, and the teaching of a few choice words to Morgan, the brand new motor mounts are in at the front of the engine. The back ones will have to last a while longer. At $150 each, we just can't afford 4 at a time. The front 2 actually had broken studs.
Yanmar mounts are specific to each engine, with different mounts front & rear. Not wise to use cheaper after-market knock-offs.
Now comes the pain in the neck task of re-alignment of the engine & prop shaft. Ugh!
A test run in neutral shows a much quieter, smoother running engine.
Last week we put in two new thermostats. Now the motor runs at the right temp & we have hot water! The new heat exchanger works!
Little by little we're becoming a boat. May 1 is fast approaching.
Jane - didn't mean to leave you out, just not up to speed on this update thing. We'll be there.
Tim & Julie - if red boat won't get to the Keys by May, how about a visit @ Titusville like last time?
Chandra - after school, how about a stop in the outer banks?
