I have had 3 lower mount covers (black plastic rectangular plastic with 3 screws) break/crack in last 6 months.
Have checked for movement in motor mounts, there is none.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks

I've never had a problem... Post here on the Mercury 3 Liter and 3 Liter High Performance page, you might get more traffic and an answer... Dan

Blue loctite and just barely snug the screws. Since I've done this no issues. It's a known design flaw and is very irritating. Fyi, nothing wrong whatsoever running without them and Mercury sure is proud on the cost of them. They are simply a cosmetic item and will not harm a thing to run without them.
There was a post a couple of years ago about that issue. Do a search on here,you should find those old posts.
Like castforcash says --- if you tighten them at all it will break later.. loc-tite and barely snug
I just lost one of mine. 1st one in 7 years. Probably will replace it but no hurry.
Thanks guys. Will try loc-tite
I’ve had two of them break. One of them now is cracked and needs replacing
Gun Control..... Is hitting your target every time
There was a service bulletin out about them a few yrs ago, you may want to check with your local dealer about it. If i find my copy i will post the info
