 Unfortunately, despite its large motor mounts, hush box and muffler, 
and 
 located inside an engine room, other than from a fair distance off, 
outside 
 the boat, it's enough to drive you (well, me, for sure!) mad with 
the noise, 
 and, to a much lesser extent, the vibration.

You need to install soft mounts, say about 40-50 durometer, that will 
go into resonance well below the operating frequency of the unit 
which is probably 60 Hz, based on 3,600 RPM operation. 
 
Get the weight of the unit, then talk to AquaDrive in 
NJ. 
 
Soft mounts are a basic part of a successful A/D installation.
