Sound Deadening.

[IL]

A friend is looking for some cheap sound insulating material to line the inside of his boats outboard engine cover.

Has anyone for any recommendations where to pick something up locally and that won't be too expensive.

Thanks.

Is sound deadening still a big thing in the world of audio ICE? maybe be able to get some at a local installer, maybe even Halfords? or Cathcarts shop in Eniskillen might be able to advise. Would lining the inside of the cover restrict airflow and cooling?

We have loads here Benny, sold in squares of about 500mm x 500mm, made by Indasa.

He doesn't think so because it's water cooled he reckons, I haven't actually seen it.

@Woodcutter will pass on the info, maybe get you to bring me up a couple of sheets on the 23rd. Same boy wouldn't be in a massive rush!!

inside of an outboard engine ?

potential heat and fire risk considerations ?

use roof flashing tape, does the same job for a fraction of the price

As @stevieturbo says if using in an engine compartment make sure it is fire and heat resistant
