[C320-list] insulating engine compartment

[DianeFlr at aol.com]

color me a NON techie, but I cannot for the life of me navigate our  
website!!
 
I found a photo from jeff Hare; but it dosen't give any dimensions - HOW  
THICK IS THE INSULATION??
 
also found 1 with styrofoam !  yikes!  don't want that.
 
May just "wing it" and spray the glue on???  
 
anyone else out there care to comment??  thanks,  Windy City,  #948.

Capt.  Diane:

Our 320 is Hull No. 947, so we're closely related. And, yes, the  Yanmar 
diesel is noisy. I've been thinking of insulating ours, too, but  haven't 
gotten around to it. (We've only had it for nine years.)   I'll be 
interested 
in the response to your  query.
