We had a new propeller shaft, cutlass bearings and engine mounts installed on the starboard side of our GB 36 in November 2016. In April of this year we noticed that the engine had slid down on three of the mounts. It appeared the bottom nuts had become loose and vibrated their down the mounting bolts. We had the shop that did the original install inspect, realign the shaft and tighten the mounts. When we got the bill, we disputed the charges as we have never heard of engine mounts (especially recently installed ones) working their way loose in such a short period of time.
Are we correct about that? Would engine mounts work their way loose after 16 months?
Appreciate any feedback or advice anyone would like to share.
Thanks,
Hal & Daniele Collins
