Hello all I am new to this forum. I have recently purchased a 1977 F30. I am looking to replace the little rubber stops that go underneath the engine compartment covers to absorb the vibrations and leave the fiberglass snug to the floor. I am hoping i make myself clear on what i am looking for and if not please let me know and i can explain it more. thanx and lots of great info on her.

Welcome to the forum Steve.
Beacon Marine that sponsors this forum is a good place to start. They have a lot of Trojan parts and if they don't have them they probably know where to get them.

If you can get the dimensions of what you need to replace, you might be able to find something at Home Depot, or some other supplier like these guys

I just googled 'rubber bumper stops'. I have also seen similar gizmos as door stops (for the door knob to butt against), and on the tail end of pool cues.

Welcome to the forum. Those rubber bushings are available at Beacon, and if they're out of them some of the previous suggestions will help you out.

They look something like this, but are usually a bit wider and not as tall and more rounded profile.
