      I installed new sound insulation on the engine cover today. Blog post and pics on my blog:

      This was very easy project which is to say it went better than most other projects.

      You want to eliminate some real noise, insulate the V-Drive.  That thing is a big source of ambient racket.

      What did you use to insulate the vdrive? Did you just insulate the hatch?

      Patrick,
      I added insulation a few years back. I found that blocking off the space behind the access panel above the engine (where the instruments are) reduced sound quite a lot.

      Regards

      I think that whole are needs to be reworked and made to be a more functional part of the “engine room” with gauges, etc… Haven’t given it a lot of thought but I don’t love how that little wall is just there looking so empty but yet with so litlte clearance behind it you can mount much there… seems like much improvement could be done with that area.
