took ma 36 pd out fa a ride down bayou pinchant to da duck lease when it happend.. hit a lil bit of lillies n went to clear ma wheel out when i noticed dat da two bushings in da back split in half.. had to take da bolt out of ma stops fa da trim and wedge a cork underneeth it to make da 45 min. ride back to da launch.. bushungs seems to be a very bad design n wonderin if n e of yall boys had this problem before n what yall did...

da one ya grandma used ta drop me off at

I dont have any clue what your talkin about.... Try using some descriptive words and some periods and commas.

dey got four rubber bushings wit studs under ya tiller handle two of em broke on me i wanna know if dey offer n e different design for em cause da ones it comes wit sucks....

Ok...

So which ones did you break???

The front or back ones???

both back ones... shoulda seen me tryin ta drive back to da camp wit da tiller handle floppn like a limp noodle

Well tell me this... Is there a 3/8" bolt back there next to those rubber things?

jus the ones comming out of both sides

If theres not a 3/8 bolt going throught the tiller base plate and the engine mounting plate right in front of the right back rubber mount (Between the block and the tiller) then there lies the problem! Call PD in the am, they'll get you back going.

i seen a hole with nothing in it.. what does that bolt do????

It takes the load off the mounts when exerting a downward force. ( simply put it keeps the mounts from breaking).

preciate it.... looks like a bolt was never even put in. theres no scratches on da paint around da hole like it would've vibrated n backed out..

Had similar issue. Only the bolt was not tightened on mine still broke the rubber bolts deals. Can't wait for that to happen in November in the cold while hunting or on a trip somewhere out of state.

could you replace the rubber mounts with a teflon bushing and a 3/8 stud all the way through instead

aight preciate it Mitschke

No problem...

Like preston said...

That bolt will limit the travel of that rubber isolator. So when you push down on your tiller handle, and you lift your motor up, the bolt takes all of the weight so the isolaters dont.

and when you put the bolt in there you don't have to dog tighten it down, just tighten it up until it touches on both sides then give it a half a turn or so until its snug.

( use a lock nut! ) lol

roger dat!!!!!!!! not asshole tight n teflon nuts.....
