HUNTER 340 Yanmar 3GM Engine Mounts... OUCH!

[markymac1961]

Hi Folks,
Need to replace all four engine mounts on my 3GM Yanmar as they've gone soft and engine rattly and vibrating lots.
OUCH!!! ... was shocked and amazed at price of these for a little lo-tech block of rubber and metal.
Around $2000 AUS here down under. And that doesn't include labour for fitting and shaft alignment.
So I started snooping around the Net... as you do, and found these US based options which look pretty good. And sub 1K (AUS$) for a full set. They're stainless and urethane which makes sense.
Does anyone have any experience with these (pic attached) or.... any other suggestions of recommendations?
Many thanks in advance - Mark Mac QLD AUSTRAYA

Just be aware that you will be paying tariffs - see Rich Stidger's post about ordering from ellebogen.

EDIT: sorry, disregard. I see you're in OZ

I had a yard install Ellebogen mounts last year. They were about half the price of Yanmar brand mounts.

I replaced all four last year with Ellebogen mounts. Great customer service & quick shipment. No regrets here; highly recommended.

I have no experience with those mounts, but they look fine, with what looks like good damping. What you don't want are extremely rigid type after market mounts that transmit a ton of vibration to the boat.

Have to second those who used Ellebogen. Replaced mine last year - no regrets. $400 US delivered to my door.
