Vetus KSTEUN80V K80V Flexible Engine Mount for Marine Engines up to 60 kW
The Vetus KSTEUN80V flexible engine mount is designed for smaller marine engines up to approximately 60 kW (80 hp). It incorporates a high-durability 60° Shore rubber compound that provides excellent vibration damping and ensures reliable load support between 40 and 80 kg. With a predictable compression range of 2 to 4 mm, the K80V mount is engineered to maintain structural stability and reduce transmitted vibration throughout the vessel.
