The Aquadrive system solves a problem that's a century old; the fact that marine engines are installed on soft engine mounts and then attached almost rigidly to the propellershaft. The very logic of the Aquadrive is inescapable. An engine that is vibrating on soft mounts needs total freedom of movement from its driveshaft if noise and vibration are not to be transmitted to the hull. The Aquadrive provides just this freedom of movement Add to this the fact that the Aquadrive allows the use of even softer engine mounts and prevents those mounts from pushing the boat along by removing propeller thrust, this eliminates the need for accurate engine alignment to be either achieved or maintained and even allows for deliberate angles between engine and shaft - an Aquadrive becomes a necessity.
