[Electric Boats] 8.5 KW Mars E-Drive mounting

 

Hello all,
I am installing an E-drive into a 1932 Herreshoff 34' sloop with a displacement of 5500#. I am curious if rubber isolation mounts are necessary to prevent noise and vibration...or can the motor be mounted to a plate attached directly to the heavy oak floors of the boat? With a very solid mount, won't the mass of the boat dampen any vibration? I'm using Thunderstruck's kit with a 2:1 cog belt reduction.
Any comments or experiences would be appreciated.
Thank you,
John
