First Project Accomplished


My first project was to replace the soundproofing foam lining the engine room. The old 15yr foam basically disintegrated and came unglued from the walls.  I used 18 tiles from SailorSolutions and about 12x54in of foam mat from Sounddown. Taped the sides and seams with ducting tape from Home Depot.



Had to buy new stainless screws to remount the Racor filter and Voltage Regulator as the new soundproofing is quarter inch thicker and less compressible. Of course the new racor guage mount looks perfectly located but actually doesnt clear the opening when you open the door, so you have to push it in slightly to close the door.
