 VIBRA-STOP BACKING PADS FITTED TO A FIBREGLASS BOAT WITH A 90HP MERCURY OUTBOARD:

"I recently installed the Vibra-Stop pads to my 5 metre Ramco Getaway after only 6 Hrs running time on a new 60 Hp Mercury Big Foot outboard which had originally been mounted on soft foam pads. Realising that Vibra-Stop was intended for larger boats I was keen to see if there were benefits for smaller craft also. The improvement in the noise level and the smoothness of the outboard throughout the entire rev range (and especially at trolling speed) was instantly noticeable - reducing vibration and resonance by an estimated 30%. Fitting the pads took an estimated 15 minutes and was made very easy by the multihole system provided in the Vibra-Stop pads. I am seriously considering fitting the full kit to reap the benefits of the extra level of comfort offered by the Vibra-Stop Bush Kit." - David Cleaver 5m Ramco Getaway with a 60 HP Mercury Bigfoot outboard engine.

"For an alloy boat I would recommend Vibra-Stop. I have fitted Vibra-Stop to my boat and it has performed to my expectations. At idle the boat is quieter and the noticeable resonance at 3000 rpm is gone. The boat is significantly quieter and more comfortable to drive!" - Dave Adamson 7m White Pointer with a 225HP Mercury Optimax. 

"It really works - we can converse at all speeds.  Big improvement - well worth the money!" - Mark Rodden 6m open alloy work boat with a 150 EFI Mercury.

"Reduced the resonance throughout the whole boat. Changed the whole feel of the boat.  A huge improvement!" - Richard Potter Trade-A-Boat Magazine 7.2m Southernsportz with a 200HP Mercury Optimax.

 "Vibra-Stop has transformed my boat!  Before fitting Vibra-Stop it was impossible to talk in the hardtop.  I would definitely fit Vibra-Stop to a new boat - it's well worth the money!" - Andy Nicholls 590 McLay with a 135 Mercury Optimax.

 VIBRA-STOP FITTED TO A FIBREGLASS 680 CHALLENGER WITH A 175 MERCURY OPTIMAX:

"Took the boat for a run last night and here is what we found. At trolling speed 10mph and about 2200 rpm, all cabin antics had almost gone, definitely heaps better than before, and at around 3600/4000 revs, I was able to stay in the cabin without the harshness driving me out but the cabin hatch was pulsing (not sure if it was before) and the adjustable stays were emitting a noise. The locking screws are frozen solid so I couldn't take up the slack in the rod clamps to stop noise continuing.

Flushing motor at home on the muffs, the motor was smoother.

It is a vast improvement to before, hasn't eliminated the entire problem, but heaps better, and I will inform you of performance as it gets more use.

If I was installing another motor to a new boat, I would use the Vibra-kit for the above reasons" - Cheers, Bernie Dwyer

"After adding a hardtop to my 6.1m Surtees I noticed the noise inside the boat increased dramatically and the vibration seemed a lot worse than before when the boat was open.  I fitted Vibra-Stop in the hope of reducing the vibration going through the boat - I did not think Vibra-Stop would have such a dramatic effect to the feel of the whole boat, it is a lot more positive to drive and it is definitely a lot quieter at all speeds, the engine idles a lot smoother.  I would say that Vibra-Stop has made a good 40% improvement in terms of vibration and noise reduction - well worth the money!" - Martin Lile 6.1m Surtees with a 135 HP Mercury Carbureted engine.
