The engine bed in fibreglass should be designed so
that it is rigid, both vertically, longitudinally and trans-
versely, to distribute the load as far as possible to the
hull. The bed is often built as a box construction. As
much of possible of the engine bed, including cross
members, should be attached to the hull to ensure
the best possible noise and vibration insulation.
The engine bed can be built up separately and then
carefully measured and bonded to the hull, or be built
up directly in the hull. It is important that the bed con-
nects to the hull with a large radius built up of several
layers of fibreglass.
