ENGINE MOUNTING
Engine Bed
The engine bed provides a location for the engine and associated marine gear to be mounted, if it is not
mounted directly on boat stringers. The engine bed or stringers should be constructed in such way as to
allow even weight distribution and load transfer.
Cross braces on the engine bed or stringers may be desired in certain applications to prevent lateral
movement of the engine. This bracing limits hull vibration and reduces stress on engine casting, such as
mounts.
IMPORTANT: The finished engine bed or boat stringers must position engine so that a minimum
amount of adjustment still exists. This is necessary for future adjustments.
Marindiesel engines are generally equipped with pedestal-type, flexible front engine mounts
Flexible Engine Mounting
Generally, Marinediesel engines are equipped with pedestal type front engine mounts. All front mounts
include provisions for isolating engine vibrations. The rear of the engine mounts to the stern drive transom
plate or transmission.
IMPORTANT: do NOT use solid engine mounts, doing so will cause severe engine damage and void
warranty.
