Motor and Transmission Mount Maintenance

Down to my last motor mount cleanup/restoration. This one is a tranny mount and it was a bugger. It required 5 days of soaking with PB Blaster, a pulley puller and a hammer drill to get the rotating part off and I had to use a hammer drill on the square screw head to get the stainless steal vertical adjuster to move. All of them were tight and didn't freely move with out some work. I got the boat last January and am in the works of getting it back to a great boat in stead of a good boat. What does everyone do annually to the tranny mounts and motor mounts to keep them from rusting up. Will a shot of WD40 each fall be enough to keep them free and make sure they will adjust in the future?

That's 'throw' Pete.   

Skidim used to have new isolators. I don't see much talk about them here, but my old ones were hard as a rock and shape distorted. They're a cheap fix at the point where you are.

I just checked and you can get the new isolators very reasonably. I have my mounts apart for paint and such. I am probably just going to replace it all while I am at it.

Seems I remember I had to cut the old ones out. They were nearly as hard as the metal on both sides.

Zach,
Do you have the rubber bushings? If not, I noticed
ebasic power has some.
