Abstract: An engine mount for supporting an inboard powerboat engine on a light marine craft. The present invention teaches an inboard, truss engine mount for marine engines, tailored for supporting the weight of the engine in spaced, transverse fashion along weight distributing supports situated along the chines of the watercraft. The present invention is particularly suitable for use in mounting an inboard engine in conjunction with lightweight aluminum boats traditionally referred to as skiffs of flatboats, which typically are of a length of about 7-22 feet. The present system allows the utilization of inboard engines with a boat which traditionally relied upon outboard engines affixed to the transom, as the weight of inboard engines could not be supported by the floor of the light weight boats. However, the present system overcomes this problem, by distributing the weight in a novel fashion, while taking advantage of the relative strength and rigidity of the chines in this type of watercraft.

Abstract: A marine transmission mounting system for marine engine and drive that are mounted in a mid-travel position to joists in the hull space between a hull and a floor of the boat. Such a system is typically used on a competition water-ski boat where the engine, transmission, and propeller shaft are mounted in-line at a downward angle with respect to a floor of the boat such that the propeller shaft passes through the hull of the boat in front of the transom. The transmission mounting system includes a transmission mounting bracket having reinforcement webs located above the span of the bracket so that smaller reinforcement webs can be located below the span of the bracket. With such a bracket, there is sufficient room underneath the bracket so that an engine exhaust tube can pass under the bracket. This allows overall engine and exhaust system space requirements above the floor of the boat to be reduced.

Abstract: A reciprocating-piston i.c. engine is supported on a supporting structure by means of mountings which are attached, not to the crankcase wall, but to the main bearing structure of the engine, by means of rigid support members which extend through flexibly-sealed apertures in the crankcase wall and are rigidly secured to the main bearing blocks. The crankcase wall is thus isolated from vibrations generated by internal moving parts of the engine, and the deformations of the crankcase by such vibrations, and hence the level of noise generated by the crankcase wall, are reduced. Where a longitudinal stiffening beam is secured to the bottom bearing blocks of the main bearing structure, some of the rigid supports of the mountings may be attached to the stiffening beam.
