Super Jet Identify these engine mounts

[jloria]

Hey everyone,

I was trying to figure out what type of mounts these are. I looked at a very old set that I thought came off of a 701 but these appear to be a bit larger.

I've read that many people like the GP800 mounts...

Could these be GP800 mounts by chance?

I tried to google some images of the GP800's but a bunch of different mounts came up.

I'm trying to decide what mounts to go with so I appreciate the help as always.

They look like any Yamaha couch mount, much better than the OEM superjet mounts.

X2 they are couch mounts from any number of 701 and 760 powered 2 and 3 seaters.

Thanks guys.

Are they better than some of the aftermarket ones out there?

Is it common for people to run the sit down mounts?

I ask because I can get around 30% off of OEM yahama parts from my local dealer.

If they are just as strong...I can pick up 4 of them.

I will be attempting surf backflips this summer so I want a good set of mounts

Thanks.

also wondering about running these or similar yamaha sitdown mounts in my superjet .. they seem to be slightly higher than stock superjet mounts .. yet as there is play with yamaha mounts back and forth ,, using such thik shims on the stock ones .. think they might be ok ... my concern is the height ..

I was told that the couch mounts last longer and that what you can do is bore out the holes where they mount to the hull, this allows you to slide them outwards towards the sides of the hull a bit. Since they are slanted, this helps the resulting height to be lower. I run OEM Yamaha SJ mounts though, never tried this myself.

I have a set of 4 bolt motor mounts, it is near impossible to break them...
Let me know if any of you guys want the set!
Brand new bushings on them.

I use couch mounts, but machine them down to fit properly.

Couch mounts work great and rarely have I seen one broken (except to old age corrosion).

so that have to be machineddown on teh bottom ? or boring out teh holes slightly is ok? likei was saying teh shims ure seem think and there is already room to slide mounts back a bit .. for my stock mounts we recently installed we had to be sure teh stockers were slid all teh way forward .. was assuming with these slid all teh way back they would be fine .. guess its going to be a actually test and see ..
