Mack Boring System / Package

Aquadrive Anti-Vibration System

Driveline system using soft engine mounts, a constant velocity shaft and a hull-mounted thrust bearing to cut cabin noise and vibration by 50% or more.

Description

The Aquadrive anti-vibration system isolates the engine from the boat. The propeller shaft is aligned to an Aquadrive thrust bearing fastened to a load-bearing hull section, which absorbs propeller thrust. A Constant Velocity (CV) shaft with two plunging CV joints carries engine power to the thrust bearing and propeller shaft and adjusts automatically to alignment changes, so periodic realignment is not needed. Softer engine mounts then isolate vibration from the hull.

Key features

  • 50% or more reduction in cabin or cockpit noise and vibration in most installations
