Why weld it?  Our TiiCo engine was floating around on too soft mounts also.
Basically we immobilized all 3 by cutting hard rubber to fit in the gaps of
the mounts, then jamming it in.  The rubber came from a replacement boat
trailer roller gotten at a marine store.

If you weld, it's very likely that you'll create a direct path to the
interior for big vibrations.  Also, wouldn't welding burn the rubber that's
already in the mounts?
