[Electric Boats] Motor mounts

 

As folks are mounting electric motors versus ICE are you finding the need to have motor mounts for vibration reduction?

I am assuming that the electric will "run" smoother but also know that the electric motor and larger prop should have more shearing potential.

I am considering the difference between R&D motor mounts - small shear (model 800-041) and shear loaded (800-010). There is also just a general compression mount (model 800-036) which should address vibration but seems silent on the shearing.

Here is their website with dimensions and general tolerances.

Thoughts from the group?

Capt. Mike - s/v Bianka - curious on your Thoosa installation since that is the motor I am going with as well.

As always, many thanks for any advice from the group.

Bill
