Marc,
the boats that had a dry stack had it running through a ventilator that was exhuasting the forced air cooling/ventilation for the engine room. Not just on steel and Ally boats but also on timber and glass ones. Don't know if it was just a mnufacturing fault but I saw one of those heat exchanger manifolds get replaced quite a few times on the one boat until they went to keel cooling. Can't see how you can have rubber mounts on an engine (unless it's just a genset) because the propshaft is a solid mount. I've always seen them solid mounted in place with "chockfast" once it's all aligned.

I see, so the problem can be the heat exchange unit not the pump.
One can have the manifold cooled with the coolant and a bit of salt water pumped in the exaust.
Yes I know how dry stack work. I don't like them noisy and hot.
You can have rubber mount on an engine, if you have a rubber coupling and the shaft mounted with a push bearing to take the thrust.
Take a pick at this:

Mick, you are in Queensland, what do you think of it?
$5600 for a new 40HP is not bad. Just what's needed for the Noyo T.“We often contradict an opinion for no other reason

This is Dreamtime.....
1. Would be an Original Tasmanian Trading Ketch.... I spent some time on one of these Honest working Vessels in the early 70's Named "One and All " unfortunatly lost off the East Cost on the way back from Middleton Reef...Bugger
2. Would be an original Broome Pearling Lugger .... not many of them left these days...
3. Would be a 48ft Bilge Keel Ketch......

Marc,
most of the boats I worked on had seriously large motors, horsepower in the very high hundreds or higher. While there was often a rubber encased drive section it was only to take up small scale vibration (I guess) if the motors were rubber mounted there would have been so much movement that they would have shredded any flexible drives.
Dunno about that motor, looks a bit low tech to me, which can be a good thing I guess. In all seriousness, I'm pretty over boats and would be more likely to pay for a charter than own anything of a serious size. I've seen how much money they swallow, hell, I made a very good living out of charging people nearly twice what I'd charge for the same work on a house. Besides, that motor is about twice as far from me as it is from you. (look at the map )
If an when I do build something it may have something like a 4hp outboard to potter around with on those glassy calm days we get a few times a year.

Pearling lugger
You want a real pearling lugger ?.
Go to http://yachthub.com/brokers/mdbs_rus...d.php?de=18987

Once again , it seems this isn't working for me.
But if you got to the yachts 36-40 ft , this lugger is there.
Sorry for cocking it up again.

Hmm, only problem is that the pictured WILLIE is steel, built in 1986, on the lines of PATANELLA (now there's a mystery for you!), with a rig based on US schooner practice.... but built by a genuine pearling lugger owner who wanted a charter boat without the compromises (aka design adaptations) of the real thing for a different purpose - horses for courses......
