[FC] Sound Deadening

[Jim Corey]

The West Marine foam is to go inside the engine compartment.  At, least, I
think that's how it's done on boats. I first learned of it on an RV forum
where a guy used it in the "doghouse" of his van-style motorhome.  Claimed
great success, both heat and noise.  But it IS expensive. As I said in an
earlier response, my Greenie is a work van.  No seats.  Can't have soft
goods on the floor or walls.  BTW, I hinged my engine cover, with a recessed
lift ring and a "stay up" support rod.  Works great.

It would be a lot cheaper to get some foam rubber from a fabric store
and place a piece of carpeting over top of it.  Cover the whole area
behind the 3rd seat side to side.  When you want access to the engine,
just lift the carpet and foam out of the way and hinge the lid up.  I
never screwed down the engine lid on any of my FC's and never had a
problem.

I'm tired of not hearing the radio or blue tooth cell phone in my
greenie.
Has anyone tried this:

Right now I have a foil-felt material lining the engine cover.  Not
nearly
good enough!
