[C320-list] insulating engine compartment

We went to Sailors Solutions website and ordered there insulation kit. It is on bottom left side of their home page (www.sailor solution.com). We had to go up from the smallest side and then had material left over. It was the easiest thing to apply, cuts easily to fit the inside cover, and REALLY helps reduce the noise. Only con is that the engine compartment is so tight we could not fully cover interior around the exhaust elbow, and the cover over the impeller. It still made a huge difference. We can now speak at conversational level when I am at the helm and my wife is in the salon/galley.
