Aquadrive Thrust Assembly Series B10 Retailer

In traditional installations, the engine must be very precisely aligned to the propeller shaft. The thrust of the propeller has to be absorbed by the engine and its mounts. These restrictions demand very stiff mounts which transmit high levels of vibration to the hull. The Aquadrive anti-vibration system eliminates the need for stiff, hard mounts and for careful engine alignment to the propeller shaft. Instead, the propeller shaft is aligned to an Aquadrive thrust bearing which absorbs all the propeller thrust and stabilizes the alignment. CV-joint shafts transmit engine power to the thrust-bearing and propeller shaft while allowing engine movements in every direction. Super-soft Aquadrive engine-mounts isolate nearly all vibration from the hull and create the necessary conditions for a smooth and quiet boat.
