A marine drive is for propelling a marine vessel in a body of water. The marine drive has a supporting frame configured to support the marine drive with respect to the marine vessel; an extension leg depending on the supporting frame; a motor housing depending on the extension leg, the motor housing for containing an electric motor; and a vibration isolating joint which couples the extension leg to the motor housing. The vibration isolating joint has an isolating connector assembly having an elastomeric member which is clamped between the extension leg and motor housing and configured to limit transfer of vibrations from the motor housing to the extension leg, and a compression limiter which prevents over clamping of the elastomeric member during assembly of the extension leg and the motor housing.

A marine drive is for propelling a marine vessel in a body of water. The marine drive has a motor housing, the motor housing having a first housing portion and a second housing portion which together define a motor cavity; an electric motor nested in the first housing portion, the electric motor being configured to cause rotation of an output shaft extending from the first housing portion; and a propulsor coupled to the output shaft so that rotation of the output shaft causes rotation of the propulsor. A vibration isolating joint couples first housing portion to the second housing portion. The vibration isolating joint comprising an isolating connector assembly has an elastomeric member which is clamped between the first housing portion and the second housing portion and being configured to limit transfer of vibrations from the first housing portion to the second housing portion, and a compression limiter which prevents over clamping of the elastomeric member during assembly of the motor housing.

A marine motor assembly for a watercraft and a cover for a marine motor assembly. The assembly includes a housing; a motor disposed in the housing; and a propulsion device operatively connected to the motor. The housing includes a housing portion, and a cover selectively connected to the housing portion. The cover includes a cover body connectable to the housing portion, the cover body covering at least a portion of the motor; a noise dampening material layer disposed on an exterior side of the cover body; and a surface structure connected to the cover body, the noise dampening material layer being enclosed between the cover body and the surface structure.

A marine drive has a supporting frame for coupling the marine drive to a marine vessel, a gearcase supporting a propulsor for propelling the marine vessel in water, an electric motor in the gearcase, the electric motor being configured to rotate the propulsor, an extension leg between the supporting frame and the gearcase, a tube in the extension leg, the tube extending between an upper end and a lower end which is coupled to the gearcase, an electrical connector extending through the tube and providing power to the electric motor, and a seal device providing a watertight seal between the electrical connector and the tube or an extension thereof to thereby prevent infiltration of water to the gearcase.

A noise-vibration-harshness (NVH) dampening cover for a stern drive is configured to propel a marine vessel in water. The NVH dampening cover comprises a plurality of panels which together enclose a powerhead suspended from a transom of the marine vessel. The plurality of panels is configured to be suspended from an inner portion of a mounting assembly, the mounting assembly having an outer portion for mounting the stern drive to the transom.
