ABSTRACT:
A jet drive unit is mounted within a jet propelled watercraft in a fashion which prevents vibrations due to the operation of the craft's impeller system from transmitting to the hull. The power transmitting shaft system connecting the water jet unit impeller with the craft's engine is made through an elastic, vibration dampening coupling. Further, the water jet unit casing is mounted to the hull through a plurality of vibration insulating connector assemblies. Thus undesirable hull vibration, and its accompanying noise, may be eliminated.
