95 XP Engine Mount Repair

[SeaDoug]

I have two broken mounts on my XP. Can I buy two new mounts and replace these at the Marina? Looks like tight quarters but minus some skin on my knuckles might be OK. Anyone and all please coment.

I have the desire, but not the experience with this job. The tools needed to do this are opened end wrenches (Don't think there is room for sockets) for three bolts per motor mount. Slide out broken pieces slide in new mount then reattach.

Sounds simple but I was looking for someone's experience with this and any ointers. Also what do I need to do for realignment of the motor.

Thanks

Anything is possible if you have the right tools.

personally I would
-swap all four
-pull pump to align the engine.

But if you want to do it quick and dirty you
want a short (stubby) combination wrench,
there is no room to swing a full wrench, it will
take all day. I'm not sure if a gear wrench
will fit but its worth buying a set if they do.

I use a combination wrench and a block of wood to support the motor. You can use a long extension and a short 13mm socket on the single mount bolt through the engine bracket. Combo on the others. Job takes an hour or two.

Thanks for the insight. Replacing all mounts I need to align the engine with pump out.
To align engine I need to bring to SeaDoo dealer, yes? What is the alignment tool/jig?
Is this something worth investing in?
How much will this cost?

Last question. When I pull pump and replace all 4 mounts should I replace fuel lines? this is a 95XP.

Don't have much problem with 95 fuel lines. You can rent the alignment tool from SBT, or buy one for $175.00 from SBT.
