[C320-list] Cleaning engine cover

[Robert Seastream]

I found that a little more elbow grease got most of it off.  The SPM 
stuff is the product that Sailorssolutions offers.
It went on fairly well, just a few gaps here and there that I'm going 
to seal with some sort of heat resistant duct tape.
They advertise 'up to' 90 percent noise reduction; I'll be happy with 
50 or better.
