HELP! 1976 25 HP Johnson front rubber mount broke

[andreipou]

Hello,
I have 1976 25 HP Sea Horse.
Model# 25R76E.
I broke one of the bolts sticking out of front rubber mount (part #0304800).

It looks like this particular part is not available anymore.

Is there any way to fix it or work around?

Thanks for the help.

This part can be seen here as # 29:

If you cannot find one from one of the outboard salvage places, it is possible to fabricate a mount using rubber shock absorber bushings, carriage bolts, and darn good (vulcanizing/solvent) rubber cement.

Maybe a bit late for the OP but if someone else is looking for one I have good news.
I took a gamble and ordered part # 0331812 from a 1994 35HP model to see if I can make it fit and guess what, its the same bloody thing as the old one. This numbers go up to at least 2005 models. I'be got mine from boat.net and their list for models using this mount goes into the hundreds,
