All R and D Damper Drive plates include a 'failsafe' design and maintain the drive if the flexible element fails. Damper Drive plate is fitted between the boat engine and the gearbox input shaft.

The R&D Damper Drive Plate reduce gear noise and allow the engine to run at lower speeds. Linear Stiffness elements for general applications and High-Deflection elements to stop gear noise and spline wear at slow speeds. The flexible elements are made from a Polyester Elastomer which has good heat qualities and is not affected by salt water, diesel and lubrication oils.
