ABSTRACT:
A vibration absorbing assembly for mounting a marine engine to a stringer is provided, including: a mounting bracket adapted for attachment to the marine engine; a base adapted for attachment to a stringer; and first and second resilient vibration absorbing members supported within the mounting bracket and selectively connected to the base, the first resilient member being relatively more resistant in a horizontal direction for cushioning horizontal thrust loads acting upon the bracket with respect to the base, the first resilient member providing substantially zero resistance to vertical movement of the bracket with respect to the base when no horizontal thrust load is acting upon the bracket with respect to the base, and the second resilient member being relatively more resistant in a vertical direction for cushioning vertical loads upon the bracket with respect to the base. Also provided is a three point marine engine and marine gear mounting assembly, including the above described vibration absorbing assembly.
