Hi Guys,
I'm looking through the Beneteau Spare Parts website for some engine mounts for the 323, but can't find any; do you guys know what part number I should be searching for?
Thanks,
Han

You will probably have to find a Yanmar part supplier as a source. ($$$)
Mounts differ front to rear and may be different between the 2GM and 3GM engines
(323 s were built wih both engine variants).

Zimmerman Marine, Zahnhizers, Bay Shore Marine, or Mack Boring are all supply these mounts.

alas mack boring the east coast distributor will only sell to yan retailers, not to us humans. that being said, there are adjustment nuts on the yan engine mounts. has anyone tried to adjust the nuts ? are the mounts bottomed out? what's the face out at the coupling ? how many hours on the engine, how many years and seasons on the boat ? (Boats in the water used all year like FL count as 2 seasons for purpose of estimating when the mounts might need to be replaced. ..) yan used to say 5 years for 5 years/ 10 seasons of boating ...

This is a point of curiosity. Why do we concern ourselves with the condition of engine mounts on our boats, and yet drive our cars for thousands of miles without even bothering about them?
That said, I read more on this forum about Yanmar mounts than others. Are we paying Yanmar prices for inferior parts?
