I can see on the boat the different factors like the drive ,prop, the harmonics that give extra stress on them . I guess that's like the engine gear drive on boats.

Is there any air in them or is it solid fluid?
Is the Fluid in them thick? I am guessing it a gell. Does it change when its cold ?
The ATI I guess has the rubber stuff in there to absorb the vibs.
The TCI rattler just doesn't seem like a good designed to me with that inner thing rattling around inside of it.imo
Don what you position with Vibratech?
Thanks again sorry for all the QA. just want to learn

Silicone Fluid
The inertia ring inside Fluidampr shears through a thin film of highly viscous silicone fluid to effectively control harmonic vibration at all engine speeds. But what is silicone fluid really like? Well, fluid is somewhat of a misnomer because it is really more like a gel. The silicone fluid used in Fluidampr is clear in color and is more than 45,000 times thicker (more viscous) than 30 weight motor oil.
Silicone fluid is a very good damping medium because it is relatively unaffected by temperature changes. Thus, it provides consistent damping in both winter and summer. The fluid does not harden or change viscosity if Fluidampr is not used for a period of time. The fluid is so durable that big rig, 18 wheeler truck engines are mostly all equipped with viscous fluid-type dampers.
The shere gaps between the inertia ring and the housing must be completly filled for the shereing action to work properly. Each damper is filled with a measured amount of fluid to insure that is is completely full.

Yea I think the market is going to get worse. Even talking to some of the big engine builders out there they said it was a soft year. Our biz has even been off for the year.Good luck
