Barr Marine Motor Mounts
Barr Marine Motor Mounts: Trusted Inboard Engine Support Since 1933
When it comes to keeping an inboard engine secure, isolated, and properly aligned, few names carry the same weight as Barr Marine. Founded in 1933, Barr Marine by EDM is widely recognized as the last and only U.S. manufacturer of inboard marine engine parts — a distinction that speaks directly to the quality and craftsmanship behind every component they produce, including their rubber engine mounts.
Marine motor mounts serve a critical function aboard any inboard-powered vessel. They secure the engine to the stringers, absorb vibration before it can travel through the hull, and — crucially — allow for fine-tuned alignment between the engine and propeller shaft. Misalignment or worn mounts can result in excess vibration, premature wear on drivetrain components, and an uncomfortable ride. Choosing a well-engineered mount from a trusted manufacturer is one of the most important steps in any inboard engine installation or rebuild.
What Sets Barr Marine Motor Mounts Apart
Barr Marine's motor mounts are designed specifically for inboard gas engines and are built to handle the rigors of the marine environment. Key features include:
- High load capacity: Each rubber engine mount is rated to handle loads up to 350 lbs, making them suitable for a wide range of inboard powerplants.
- Adjustable design: Barr Marine mounts are adjustable both vertically and horizontally, allowing installers to precisely align the engine with the propeller shaft — a critical step for reducing vibration and preventing wear.
- Marine-grade rubber compound: The rubber element of each mount is engineered to withstand temperature extremes and prolonged exposure to salt, oil, and grease — conditions that quickly degrade lesser materials on the water.
- Multiple configurations: Barr offers motor mounts with different stud sizes (including 5/8" and 3/4" studs) and base configurations, including standard and 90° base styles, to suit different engine bed and stringer setups.
- Made in the USA: Barr mounts are manufactured domestically, consistent with the brand's decades-long commitment to American quality and craftsmanship.
