Sound Proof I/O Material ?
 

The sound proof material I used on my I/O cover 13-14 years ago has finally crapped out. I want to remove and install new stuff. The material I initially used was from West Marine.

Does anyone have an opinion on a good quality replacement and a source ? As it is now, I'll be using acoustical hangers to hold the material in place ( i.e. galvanized based epoxied in place with a nail in center ).

Thx - the Springtime launch 'to-do' list has begun....

Give Chris at Sounddown a call. They have the best sound proofing material in the business. Your compartment is small, so it should not be terribly expensive.

True dat.

If you are on a budget, you can use A/C duct insulation.

Another yes vote for the Sound Down .Used it on my Tsunami I/O motor compartment made a big difference in noise reduction.It is heavy as hell but installs easily with the mounting studs they supply.

Weird - I sent him an email (2) days ago - crickets.

looks like you are on LI,NY.I have plenty of sounddown,"lead lined," shiny faced stuff.happy to help you for a low price.I won't ever use all I have.

DAMN ! I called the company back and spoke to a sales guy and bought the lead lined stuff. I missed you by a few days. Thank you anyway. It is thicker than the stuff ( initially, from W. Marine ) I have in there now - so I'm assuming it'll be even more quiet.

Bet your chafing at the bit like I am to get some warmer weather around here !
