AQUADRIVES

Anti Vibration Coupling
An Aquadrive system will reduce structure borne noise and vibration by up to 90%. It will reduce overall noise levels by up to 75%. It will end shaft alignment problems on installation, and for ever more!

It will allow the engine to be installed flat, because the Aquadrive allows angles between the engine and the shaft. It will ease problems when re-engining. And it’s a gift when re-engining an older boat.

Engine Mounts
The Aquadrive system creates free movement between the engine and the shaft. One result is that the engine’s mountings can be much softer than normal, partly because the engine can vibrate freely relative to the shaft, and partly because no propeller thrust reaches the mounts and strains them forwards.

Aquadrive engine mounts are used with engines of four cylinders or more, and our expert staff will rapidly select the correct rubber stiffness for the machinery involved.

What makes a mount good – and safe?

• Only natural rubber is used. Each size of mount is manufactured with up
to four different rubber stiffness grades.
• The steel hood covers the whole top of the mount, reducing the risk of
diesel attacking the natural rubber.
• The mount is “fully captive”. Even if the engine turns over and the
rubber elements rip, the engine is held tight.
• The bolt holes are slotted one way at each end so you can adjust
their position.
