engine mounts

hello guys 1987 searay 23 with a 5.7 engine, I just have the boat couple of months ago and the engine mounts look like this any advice.

From what I can see it looks like nothing more then paint chipping off and a bit of rust. Without seeing more I would suggest taking a screw driver and see if you can push it in anywhere to check for soft spots

If you're referring to the surface rust, just hit it with a bit of Corroseal rust converter, then paint black over it.

People don't remove outdrives for service and don't care about engine alignment until there is a problem. Therefore never pay attention to motor mounts condition. Next time you do engine alignment you may not be able to turn the nuts there...I have a heavy coat of grease on them rather than paint.

Ayuh,.... If ya start bathin' 'em in Fluid Film now, they might be ready to move, next time ya need to align it,....
