- 2000 Grand Banks 42 Classic
Reworking a new to me Westerbeke 8.0 BTD Sound Guard on a year 2000 Grand Banks 42. Repainting rusted areas and replacing the foam sound proofing (w/Dynamat). I located the original Sound Guard instructions and I think the PO installed the end panels backwards. One panel has an air exhaust opening on it and the other one is a solid panel. It looks like the instructions are saying the air exhaust panel should be on the engine side of the generator in front of the alternator/water pump/fan belt, etc. The solid panel should be at the rear where the Sound Guard air intake is located.
The PO had the air exhaust panel at the rear - and it's been that way for some time because I can see where the rust areas match up.
Anyone have this set-up, who can confirm correct location of the panels? Thanks!
