Broken rubber motor mount (s). There are three at the bottom and three at the top. You will notice that the motor floats on rubber mounts within a "shell". It has to come out of the shell to replace the mounts. Degree of difficulty depends on your mechanical aptitude.
You should be fine. Take some pictures of everything before you take it apart. Don't force anything. If you run into issues, post a photo or two and ask questions. The guys on here are VERY good and helpful.
Good luck with it, and let us know how it comes out. Welcome to iboats.
