I have what I think is a 1984-86 (not sure exactly) Mercury 35 hp outboard on my boat. It's the one with the brown/tan striping on the tin wrap around hood. it has power tilt and trim. It has quite a bit of side to side shake at mid range acceleration. I find three rubber mounts on it, two of which look to be ripped and loose. one of the lower side mounts behind the cover, and the upper mount. I can barely see the upper mount, but I know that it's real loose. What all is involved in replacing that? Do I need to pull the powerhead? How big of a risk is there running it like that? Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
