[C320-list] Engine noise

[Karl Mielenhausen]

Lou,

I took a different approach with noise reduction on hull 690 (Yanmar 3GM).

I used contact cement to line the inside of the fore and aft engine
covers with acoustic ceiling tiles, such as this...

I'm not sure this is exactly what I used and I don't remember the SqFt
that I wound up purchasing. Class A fire rating was important to me.

A couple of photos can be found here...

If you try this, be mindful of engine clearences. On the Yanmar there
is a tight fit between the cover and the alternator. Your experience
may be different.

Regards,
Karl
