Abstract
A marine drive is for propelling a marine vessel in a body of water. The marine drive has a motor housing, the motor housing having a first housing portion and a second housing portion which together define a motor cavity; an electric motor nested in the first housing portion, the electric motor being configured to cause rotation of an output shaft axially extending from the first housing portion; a propulsor coupled to the output shaft so that rotation of the output shaft causes rotation of the propulsor; and an elastomeric isolator located radially between the electric motor and the first housing portion. The elastomeric isolator is configured to isolate vibrations emanating from the electric motor and limit transfer of said vibrations to the first housing portion.
