Any suggestions on ways to cut down on the engine noise in the cabin. We have a beautiful R21ec! Jayne
 
Turn off the engine.

:lol: Too funny Bbrh842

I've heard of adding extra insulation to the engine box. Placing some foam(fire/water proof?) the bilge area foward of the engine. Perhaps some carpet in the cabin floor. padding on the walls? I haven't done any of those so I don't know what the results would be. I have been thinking of putting some carpet on the interior walls and floor of my cabin, but thats more for winter time comfort reasons. A little extra insulation. Could help dampen some of the engine noise.

Stan and Jayne, I see this is your first post, Welcome to TugNuts! Excellent choice of boat!

Best of Luck,
Brian
 
This has been brought up before but heres what I did.
I used one inch foam that you can get at home depot in sheets. Myself I used some some stuff salvaged from a dead rv and cut it into pieces that fit the bulkheads inside the cabinets and lined everything inside the boat with a thickness of foam. I put in on the cabin sole with rug over it. Two pieces between the forward end of the engine and the motor box itself. I put it in the bilge near the water intake. Because I thought the noise was transmitted forward I blocked the back of the storage area under the bunk. Its now quiet or quieter. I held things in place with good quality duct tape or just wedged in place. My used foam had a blue tint to it and was a bit more closed cell. I worked with pieces about two foot by two foot. Cardboard was used for templates. This may not be pretty but it does work.
