Marine Xpress Showcases Vibra-stop: Anti-vibration Pads To Combat Alloy Boat Resonance

Alloy boats, prized for their strength and lightweight performance, are also notorious for transmitting engine and wave-induced vibrations throughout the hull. This can lead to increased noise, structural fatigue, and discomfort for boaties. Vibra-Stop’s pads are specifically formulated to dampen these vibrations at their source, offering a quieter, smoother ride and protecting onboard equipment from long-term wear. These pads are a game-changer for anyone seeking better comfort, durability, and acoustic control on the water.

Benefits of using Vibra-Stop backing pads:

  • Hull-Friendly Damping: Reduces vibration transfer from engines into alloy hulls.
  • Noise Suppression: Minimises onboard noise for a more enjoyable boating experience.
  • Excellent memory retention: Pads will not compress over time so a consistent clamping force is maintained between the engine and the boat.
  • High quality materials: Pads are manufactured from high quality urethane with excellent UV properties so they won’t break down in the sun or absorb water.
  • Easy installation: Several sizes available for use with common mounting systems. Backing pads can be purchased as a standalone product or as part of a kit providing the ultimate solution in vibration reduction.

Vibra-Stop backing pads and kits are available through select marine suppliers, boat manufacturers or directly.
