Parts are direct from Westerbeke. Part numbers 38148 and 38149. Rail left and right. About $300 for the assemblies. Made a big difference in the vibration You can feel and hear it through the boat/hull.

I think there are 3 things that will improve the noise and vibration level on this model. 1. Upgrade the muffler to a dual stage (cuts the engine noise. 2. Replace the rails (cut down on vibration through the hull) 3. Add a soft sided sound shield (the remaining noise primarily comes out out he engine air inlets, but that’s right where the cockpit seating is).

I did the first 2, and the soft sided sound shield in high on my wish list.

perfect. I’ll inspect mine this weekend and add job #45,754 to the list
