F7 Motor Mount Replacement

Does anyone know if the motor mount that's located in the right bulkhead on a 2006 F7 is pressed in? The sled is a chain case (F7R). I have included a photo of the mount. Thanks in advance, Paul

kinda pressed and also loctite you can get out buy pulling plate it is sandwiched in between and raping plate with rubber hammer.
the mount should come out with plate then you can tap out mount.
when you get the new mount get the mount from a 04 snopro race sled it is a harder durometer rubber and will last longer.
the new one can be taped in with a hammer and some love taps

Sounds good. This plate you speak of, is that the plate that runs along the insde of the bulkhead? Between the bulkhead and the motor?

it is the plate in your pick it is sandwiched between that plate and the bulk head

on top of the sno pro mount we also used the thinnest fender washers that were just about the size of the rubber part of the mount on each side helped to keep it from flexing as much.
we did try the blue solid mounts on both sides one time on a 300+hp f7/1200 and it pulled the 3 mounts out of the holes on the pto side first launch off the line
