New engine mounts

Unfortunately my relatively new (6 years) forward port engine mount is badly corroded, likely from allowing saltwater to saturate it as I change the heat exchanger zinc.

I have decided to have the professionals replace all 4 engine mounts and align the shaft, as having mounts of the same type and age will help quell vibration.

Note the corrosion of the baseplate.
