I am not sure what engine you have, but Yanmar mounts are different, and for a reason. There is a lot of vibration in any small diesel and Yanmar engineers say they designed their mounts (which have a unique W shape) to allow the engine to vibrate more so as to not transfer that to the bed and hull of the boat. Yanmars can look like they are trying to take the drive train out of the boat at low RPM when they are perfectly aligned. You also might check all the nuts (top and bottom) on your new mounts; I have forgotten to tighten one occasionally when I was younger (surely would never do that today). They all (8) need to be snug when you finally get it set right. The last thing you check is the gap at the coupling for the 50th time.
