It's more than 25 years since the first
Aquadrive was fitted into a boat, in fact there are now
tens of thousands installed world-wide. This coupling can
transform an engine installation, in some cases reducing
vibration by 95% and structure borne noise by 50% *.The
very logic of the Aquadrive system is inescapable. An
engine that is vibrating on soft mounts needs total
freedom of movement from its driveshaft if that noise and
vibration are not to be transmitted to the hull. The
Aquadrive flexible drive system is an extra that should
be standard. The
installation of an Aquadrive system is straight forward
and does not require regular checking and re-adjusting of
the engine alignment and even allows deliberate angles
between engine and propeller shaft. Aquadrives are
available to suit engines from 5hp to 1700hp and can be
tailor-made in different lengths for special
installations. The range of Aquadrive mounts covers
engines with weights from 80kgs to 8 tonnes, choosing the
correct mount for a particular installation is 30%
calculation and 70% pure experience. Engine mounts are a
tiny part of a vessel but their importance is out of all
proportion to their size ! For more information on what
benefits an Aquadrive could bring to your boat, please

detailed brochure containing specifications dimensions
and prices. * Results from tests carried out by a respected independant authority. |

Why should a boat be pushed along by its rubber engine mounts? With an Aquadrive, the propeller thrust is directed to the hull. |
