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.
