There is a difference between the Rotax company mounts and the Europa
company mounts, both dimensionally and hardness. The Europa ones are
certainly too stiff, isn't there a factory mod to rectify this, longer
distance tubes to reduce the compression?
When we first installed our Classic engine the rubbers were so stiff the
washers compressing them went conical. Lengthening the tubes made quite a
difference.
