[C320-list] Engine noise

[Richard A. Walker]

It is heaver, One kit shipping weight from WM is 15 lbs and I used 1 1/2
kits so about 22 lbs.  How ever well worth it.  I check my Yanmar oil from
the front and it seems not to be too heavy.

Cheers,

Dick,
How much heavier does this make the two covers? I have been procrastinating
on this project for a couple of off seasons now. Perhaps it's good time to
also add the external handle that some have added to the aft cover....

Regards,

Jon Vez
