  • Patent number: 4507090
    Abstract: Several embodiments of resilient supports for outboard motors embodying a relatively soft elastomeric element for damping low magnitude loads and a relatively hard elastomeric element that is loaded upon large magnitude relative movements. In some embodiments the loading arrangement is such that the softer resilient element is operative over a larger range of relative movement in one direction than in the other. In one embodiment an arrangement is employed wherein the elastomeric elements need not be bonded to their loading elements. In all embodiments the vertical support is only provided through the softer elastomeric element.
