engine mounts

[ringmaster]

i have a 1977 sea ray with a mercruiser 233 pre alpa outdrive. i just put the motor back in last week. i got it running today and it had a noise coming from the coupler that it didnt have laster year. it is a new coupler when i was checking around at the back of the motor i looked at the rear mounts rhat wasnt never bolted up last year but i made sure it was done right this year ive been fixing someone elses lazyness. what i found at the rear of the mount is i can spin the cloth washers around by hand is this correct? or is it suppose to be tight? i spent 4hrs on this thig to get it aligned but i dont think it is. is there a diagram that shows exactly where the mounts for the front should be hieghtth wise to get it close and then fine tune it with the tool. thanks.

This is newer, but it's the same set up as the 77's.

Re: engine mounts

Did you by any chance put in new rear mounts?

Re: engine mounts

no never touched them cause i never had an issue with them i had to replace the shifter cable and boots over the winter and fix an exhaust leak. in the picture letter g is a spacer is that the one that goes inside the mount? mine has the steel sleeve in the rubber mount the anouthe sleeve on the bolt and a washer. is that correct?
