62t engine mount.

[Ryan Declark]

There is a engine mount that believe people call a "couch mount". Sits center at the bottom of the case. What is it actually called and is there a replacement part for it to run in a standup?

I believe the norm is to just remove it.

Yamaha calls it a stopper. Part number for a SJ one is 6BA-44532-00-00

There are different ones for different hulls.

I have used SJ ones if you want one;

Used Lower engine block / snubber.

Used Engine rubber block under 701 2015 SJ NO RETURNS on any used parts, please email with questions before ordering, thank you.

when guys say "couch mounts" they are referring to the 4 engine mounts from a sit down. Superjet mounts are slightly smaller. the center "bumper" everyone just removes

Bolts are pretty long. They don't seal the case in anyway?

Reuse the bolts, just leave out the rubber bumper.

Awesome. Thanks.

We typically take them out. I find they rub on the hull inside, and actually cause damage. We do know of many that ride Surf though, that do leave them in.

interesting. okay. so its just dependant on hull and use application. got it.

As evidence of why they are removed, here's something I just discovered in a 2017 RN hull. That's about 1/8th inch deep. I figure sand (from surf water ingress) got under the bumper and turned it into a palm sander. Needless to say, I removed the bumper.

That's pretty intense

It's actually a vibration damper. Touch a piece of rubber to a tuning fork.......same idea. While it DOES help a little, it's not necessary in most cases. Anybody here ever own a Blaster 200cc quad? Yamaha shoved rubber pads into the cooling fins on the culinder and I believe the head too.....to help dampen vibration. Leave one off inside a 97-99 GP1200 and your arms will vibrate so bad it's unrideable!
