The Aquadrive antivibration system will help you, and your crew, enjoy the peace and quiet of boating. By isolating the engine from the rest of your boat, noise and vibration are greatly reduced. Most installations result in a 50% or more reduction in cabin or cockpit noise and vibration. Aquadrive will also help to keep your driveline in good condition by minimizing wear and tear on the transmission and cutlass bearings.
Aquadrive is known for its good quality and can therefore give a 15 year guarantee on their products.
We can provide customers with competitive prices and good delivery times.

The System
 CV shaft
The drive shaft of variable length includes two true plunging Constant Velocity joints that work independently at any angle. This eliminates the need for accurate engine alignment, either during initial installation or subsequent use. The rolling action of the balls within the CVjoints absorb all axial and radial loads, permitting the use of very soft engine mounts as well as reducing wear in connected bearings. A range of pre-machined adapter kits allows coupling to almost any marine gearbox.
 Thrust bearing
Aquadrive thrust bearing with rubber mounts attach to a cross brace in the hull. Massive bearings transfer the thrust directly to the hull and not the engine. In addition, the propeller shaft is much better supported, leading to smoother running and less wear on the stern seal.
 Engine mounts
Aquadrive’s proven engine mounts are softer than almost any other and should be used to take full advantage of the system. These mounts are steel hooded to prevent diesel damage and fully captive so that the engine cannot leave its frame even if the vessel is turned over.
Torsional Dampning
Soft, flexible rubber elements are normally installed between the engine flywheel and gearbox to avoid torsional vibration. Aquadrive CV shafts can be directly coupled to gearboxes without additional rubber or flexible elements. For flywheel mounted installations, Aquadrive torsional rubber dampers combined with CV shafts (CVT units) are available in a full range of power applications involving remote mounted propulsion equipment, such as water jets, stern drives and remote v-drives.
