Engine Mount Options
Is Your Saildrive Installation Straight Forward?
Beta Marine engines have been fitted into tens of thousands of vessels around the world using our standard engine mounts. We offer a variety of engine mounts to simplify installation for common engine replacements, such as Atomic-4, Perkins 4.108 and various Yanmar models. However engine beds can vary immensely so when a problem arises, our solution is to offer our unique service of designing and manufacturing custom engine mounts to suit your individual engine beds. Your new engine just drops onto your existing engine bearers and lines up with your propeller shaft reducing installation complexity, time and labor.

The following tools are recommended to be available to take the required measurements accurately. All measurements are taken from the propeller shaft centreline (the datum).
Flexible Mountings
