[C320-list] Need to replace motor mounts and Catalina factory contact

[windswept at stx.rr.com]

Hi Rich,

Unfortunately, neither Warren at Catalina nor Westerbeke could help me.  According to Westerbeke it was not on the bill of materials that they supplied to Catalina and Warren indicated that the boat was built so long ago in CA that there would be no records on such a minor item.  I am left with having them fabricated locally.  This should not be a problem however it would have been nice to have all the required parts on hand to complete the job in one session.

Hi Larry,
I am wondering how you made out.  I have the Westerbeke 30B in hull 265, and have thought about replacing the engine mounts.  It looks to me like the plates you are referring to are part of the mounts.  Did you buy Westerbeke mounts or an aftermarket?  I could send pictures of mine if you would like.
Regards,
