09 sx 230 motor mounts

So broke a bolt off deep in the motor mount pulling out the engine Saturday. It is gone. Anybody have any thoughts about replacing only one of them? The others look fine. wonder if is will mess with the impeller alignment?

are you talking about one of the two bolts that go through each foot pad and thread into the engine bay? "it is gone." not sure what that means.

you'll know if it is off if the rubber coupler damper doesn't have free play in it.

Not the bolts that go into the hull, just the one bolt that goes thru the engine boss into the rubber mount itself. Thanks for the link, I will dig into it when I get back in front of a computer.
