V-drive
In all installations with a down angle propeller shaft
there will be a lifting force transmitted from the pro-
peller shaft. In an installation of an engine with a
V-drive this force could be higher than that from the
weight of the engine and gear box.

This will create a lifting force to the engine mounts
fitted at the same end as the gear box. Therefore
all engines with a close coupled V-drive must be
equipped with mounts that are designed for this type
of installation at the rear end.
