Total Protection for your drive train.

Absorbs vibration, reducing noise.
THE DRIVESAVER provides a flexible, non-metallic barrier between your transmission and shaft.  This barrier reduces not only drive train vibration, but the transmission of vibration and noise to you, your crew and the water.  Both you and your vessel are more efficient in this quieter environment.
Absorbs shock.
THE DRIVESAVER effectively absorbs thrust and torque from the propeller shaft, as well as excessive shock from changing gears and high speed planing.  It also helps control damage and misalignment from torsional engine movement.  And it keeps on working, under normal conditions, for the life of the drive train, with no lubrication or maintenance.
Prevents electrolysis.
THE DRIVESAVER provides an impervious barrier that blocks electrical currents from the water.  Your engine and transmission are protected from damaging corrosion.
Acts as a circuit breaker.
Repeat users of THE DRIVESAVER install new ones not because an old one wore out, but because of a hidden log, line, or rock that destroyed the coupling.  That's right, THE DRIVESAVER was destroyed, not the costly transmission and engine.  By acting like a circuit breaker, THE DRIVESAVER absorbs the extreme shock and torque of collision, breaks apart, and leaves your transmission and engine intact.  You're back in operation faster, at a minimum cost.  That's the kind of total protection you can't afford to be without!

Elastomer, a stiff, yet resilient material, has excellent energy absorbing properties.  It will retain its design characteristics over a long period of time and will return to original shape even after being under compression.  It withstands oil, sludge, salt water and a temperature range of -65° to +225°F.  All metal components and hardware are plated for corrosion resistance and long life.   Model 5756, 7256, 908, 1058, 1108, 1308, 8010, and 8858 may be used between flanges with a bolt hole size larger than the bolts furnished with THE DRIVESAVER.  Specify model number plus the suffix B.  Bushing to fit the flange will be furnished with THE DRIVESAVER.

To determine torque rating use this formula:
Engine Horsepower x 5252 x Reduction Ratio
Engine R.P.M.

SELECTION GUIDE

DRIVESAVER SPECIFICATIONS

*Outside diameter is machined at an angle, with the smaller side to the reverse gear flange to allow for clearance.

ALIGNMENT WEDGES

Designed specifically for use with Globe engine mounts,
these wedges allow engine alignment to micrometer tolerances.
Rated load is 1500 pounds (250 pounds/square inch area) and
therefore may be used in pairs as vibration dampening pads.
These wedges are maintenance free and also impervious to gas,
oil, grease, sludge and saltwater.

ENGINE MOUNTS

Globe engine mounts are cast molded from two hardnesses of elastomer.  The softer inner core provides vibration, noise, and shock dampening, while the stiff outer shell restricts engine movement.  They are easy to install with a wide range of sizes to fit almost every engine requirement.
   

Tolerance on all dimensions ± 1/32.
*Normally used for generators, compressers, air conditioners, pumps and other auxiliary equipment.
NOTE:  Do not use less than 80% of the thread length of the metal insert.   Engine bracket should cover entire area of center core of the mount.  Rear mounts should bear 60% of engine weight.  Front mounts should bear 40% of engine weight.  Installation Kits include engine bolt, core washer, spacer, and lock washer.
