Abstract
A marine drive is for propelling a marine vessel in a body of water. The marine drive has a supporting frame configured to support the marine drive with respect to the marine vessel; an extension leg depending on the supporting frame; a motor housing depending on the extension leg, the motor housing for containing an electric motor; and a vibration isolating joint which couples the extension leg to the motor housing. The vibration isolating joint has an isolating connector assembly having an elastomeric member which is clamped between the extension leg and motor housing and configured to limit transfer of vibrations from the motor housing to the extension leg, and a compression limiter which prevents over clamping of the elastomeric member during assembly of the extension leg and the motor housing.
