[C320-list] Engine Sound Proofing Insulation

[Bruce Stanley]

Hi Brian
Jeff Church has these photos on the C320 site.
(NOTE PICTURE NOT INCLUDED ON C320 LIST)
It is the way I did mine. (can't find my own photos).
This is an easy DIY job.
It consisted of just one sheet. I easily cut it to size (comes pre-glued).
The engine covers for under the steps and in the aft cabin are done in one
piece.
I also put a section of this insulation material across the top of each
cover.
Note you may have to cut some away to allow for engine elbow/etc (see
picture on right).

This insulation has been on for 2 years and looks and works very well.
If I recall, the sheet installation is cheaper than the tiles.
I bought it in Sydney from one of our leading Marine Chandeliers.
The size = 1 metre X 1.3 meters x 25mm and costs AU$72.90.

Cheers
