Soundproofing outboard motor engine cover
 

Recently I had to remove all the foam soundproofing from the inside of my
figlass motor cover as it was breaking down and going into the carburetor
intake. I would like to reinstall the foam and seek some advice, or a website
please. I have some 20mm closed cell foam sheets if this would do the
job, or would it need to be thinner. Also, the type of glue, being close
to the heat of the motor.

thanks
Brian

The closed cell foam may melt and cause a fire. Most closed cell you get is
not very fireproof. West Marine or others have engine cover insulation.
Mine is a foil sandwich.
