Abstract
A marine drive is for propelling a marine vessel in water. The marine drive comprises an upper unit; a lower unit for supporting a propulsor for propelling the marine drive in the water, wherein the lower unit is suspended from the upper unit and is configured for attachment to the marine vessel via a mounting bracket which supports the marine drive relative to the marine vessel; a cowling suspended on the upper unit apart from the lower unit; and a vibration isolating joint which couples the lower unit to the upper unit so as to vibrationally isolate the upper unit and the cowling from the lower unit and the marine vessel.
