One lungers are a beast when it comes to sound and vibration. You have the same problem with a Yanmar YSM12. Only solution I found was to add an AquaDrive which puts the engine on soft mounts where the resonant frequency is well below the operating frequency. I dropped almost 30dB sound level and quit backing screws out of bulkheads, snapping engine mount studs, etc. Lew |
