A gas turbine engine assembly includes a gas turbine engine mounted on a three-point mounting frame. The three-point mounting frame includes an engine support structure having first and second beams in a V-configuration, and a secondary support structure that is positioned about the engine support structure and has a rectangular footprint. The frame may include a Y-configuration that includes the V-configuration, and may be implemented in a machine mounting system, such as in a marine vessel.

Machine mounting system

A gimbal includes a first lug housing. The first lug housing includes a first base plate and a first lug protruding from the second surface of the first base plate. The gimbal also includes a second lug housing. The second lug housing includes a second base plate and a second lug protruding from the second surface of the second base plate. In addition, the gimbal includes a shaft passing through the first and second lugs, thereby connecting the first lug housing to the second lug housing, such that the first base plate is facing the second base plate. The gimbal also includes a first void in the second base plate, opposite the first lug, such that the first lug extends into the first void of the second base plate.
