I can't believe the mounts can't take the brutal 180b hp from the 261 and my power shifts,must be inferior quality  , both sets said made in Mexico. Anyone else having this problem? maybe I have to adapt different mounts from another engine | | |

The 73,s up wont last past a test drive. I use polyurithane on those. I know this doesn,t answer your question but i thought i would throw it in anyhow.

I just looked and did not see any at this time but they come up regulary. | | |
