Depending upon your requirements, The VMU should be mounted near to centre of motion of the boat to give the best average of the motions of the vessel.


If your primary purpose is to limit the exposure of the crew and passengers to shock and vibrations, then the VMU should be mounted near to the position where crew or passengers will be most vulnerable to Whole Body Vibration. On a boat this will normally be the furthest forward seated position.


If a particular crew position is deemed the most vulnerable for other operational reasons then the base unit may be placed nearest to that location.


The VMU must be mounted to a rigid location on the vehicle. Any flex in the mounting location will introduce false readings.


You should conduct your own Health and Safety Assessment to decide upon the best place to mount the VMU. If necessary seek professional advice.
