Halyard Marine products come highly recommended. The most effective thing for us was the addition of an Aquadrive coupled with LOTS of sound insulation.

Have used something similar to this in the past.
There are a couple of other factories who actully make this stuff who do advertise on line which sell direct to the public.

I did mine with Halyard many years ago. Very effective.

I used the products from ASAP - works well, but I didn't use the self adhesive ones as my experience of them is the eventually failing. I used large plastic washers and stainless screws to fix to the plywood lining.

I also used ASAP, but would go for the more expensive fire resistant stuff next time.

Thanks all.

Any suggestions on adhesive? The sound proofing in our Benetteau has come off the underside of the cabin sole and needs re-fixing.

Recently did Carina’s with the lead lined, foil covered stuff from ASAP, fixed with sparky contact adhesive and edged with Ali tape. Made 6 dB reduction in the cabin. The only down side is that the companion steps now weigh a fair bit more than they did!

I've used Evostick Timebond when fitting sound panels to two boats now. It's been very successful as it allows a bit of movement if you're getting the sheets into difficult/awkard positions and don't want the adhesive to 'grab' straight away.

As John Morris has said, getting a flexible prop shaft coupling is worth thinking about. it brought about a big reduction in engine noise levels in our boat.

Thanks John - my panels ar like a thick composite foam, bit like the inside of a hard seat foam. Do you think the Evostick would be "grabby" enough to hold onto that?

Might go and YouTube it as well

My panels were thick (and heavy) composite foam and they stuck OK. I did our Sigma 33 and our current Westerly Sealord in the same way.
