[Rhodes22-list] Motor mount cracks

[Robert Baldi]

Ken,
I had cracks in my motor mount and it eventually failed. The mount broke
while I was motoring back to the dock. -- It was an adventure - I grabbed
the motor and tied it off to the stearn rail but it then pushed up against
the ruttter and made steering very difficult - I let out some sail and
fortunately the wind was favorable - it pushed me closer to the dock.
Ultimately, I along with my Australian life guard nephew swam/towed the boat
in to a hoist to save the motor and free the rutter.

I think you should replace the mount.
