I use shock cord , I believe it is 1/2 " you can buy it @ West Marine, Blow Boats use it :). It makes a Big difference with the shaking of the motors.

I used this on my 2.5's and worked well. Now that I have the 250xs's I have not used it, but the motors do move alot. Do you have it on your 300xs's?

When I raced we used 3/8 or 1/2 inch - can't remember what length, then tie off on one side, pull it as tight as we could get it, back and forth multiple times. It helps keep the motors in check and absorbsome of the shock otherwise taken by the transom mounts and/or engine mounting bolts.

Please post some pics . How do you keep the paint from getting beat up in the area where the Bungee touches Mid ?
