Abstract
A marine propulsion system for isolating engine sound and vibration from the boat interior includes an engine mounted in the aft portion of the boat by resilient mounts. The engine is enclosed within a closed compartment for isolating engine sound, with one wall of the compartment defined by the boat transom. The resilient engine mounts isolate the boat from the effects of engine vibration. A drive unit is rigidly mounted to the exterior of the boat transom. A drive mechanism is provided for transferring power from the engine crankshaft to the drive unit, and includes an apparatus for accommodating engine movements and isolating the drive unit from the effect of such movements.
