motor mounts

Have 1970 Cary 28 with motors replaced in 1985 so mounts are the same age. Looking at the mounts, the rubber is intact but squished pretty good. My question is: should these be routinely replaced? Motors have about 300hrs on them(440's with velvet drives).
Thanks
Mark

Rubber mounts can deteriorate over time. I wouldn't bother pulling an engine just to replace its mounts, but I would replace them if you ever have to pull the motor for something else. May as well get it all working at the same time.
