Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A marine drive is provided. The marine drive includes a propulsion unit, a supporting cradle that couples the propulsion unit to a transom bracket for attachment to a marine vessel, and a cowling system that at least partially covers a portion of the propulsion unit and a portion of the supporting cradle. The cowling system includes upper, middle, and lower cowling components, and the middle and lower cowling components are separated by a dynamic gap. The marine drive further includes a sound blanket positioned between the supporting cradle and the middle and lower cowling components. The sound blanket is configured to span the dynamic gap and block sound that would otherwise emanate from the propulsion unit via the dynamic gap.
