I'm installing a used 470 in my boat to replace the one that blew up. Obviously if I need to replace the rubber motor mounts, now is the time to do it. My question is, is there a good way to inspect/ test them? I've tried searching, and did find the info I was looking for. Visually they look good, but you can't see a whole lot being they are pressed in. The motor didn't seem to shake much more than normal in the boat it came out of. I want to make sure the front and rear are both good. So any tips on checking these?
