Engine Room Soundproofing

Spottsville · Mar 20, 2014

What have you used to soundproof your engine room? Pictures of what you used once installed and where you purchased the material and why you chose a given material would be very helpful to all!

I did my ER in the fall and used Volvo Penta QL material in the attached link. It had an extremely sticky adhesive, is fire retardant, recycled material and did a great job of reducing the noise. You can buy in different thicknesses. Use regular hardware store foil tape to cover any joints. Did the whole job in just a couple hours. It was not overly expensive as compared to other material I looked at and available through my local retailer. Sorry no pictures.

He said he was looking for Quiet Company :socool:

, but probably not here :facepalm:

I'm looking for the same thing, insulation for my ER/Salon floor panels

Was thinking of those lead panels from home Depot.

I have used lead/foam and lead/fiberglass products on two diesel boats with good success. SoundDown (maybe SounDown) has a good site with many specialized products.

What I have had so much difficulty with is removing the old adhesive and left over product before I put on the new. Anyone have any trics for getting the old adhesive off? 3M adhesive remover does not work...........

Norm, I don't have the contact name. I ordered from a catalogue the mechanic at our marina had. Try any Volvo dealer, they should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Roger, I was fortune my insulation was original 1981 and in poor shape and the adhesive came off with the insulation. Some in fact was falling off. I suck right over what was left and it adhered well.
