I just completed the generator sound insulation/fuel lines/propane tank removal/powder coating project this afternoon.  I would say the hardest part of the project was getting the generator back on to the tray, with a close second being the placement of the sound absorbing material.  What made it difficult was the spray adhesive.  Once the adhesive is applied to the material and the mounting surface, you are supposed to wait about three minutes for it to get tacky.  It becomes VERY sticky.  Once the piece of material touches the mounting surface, it's on for good; the is no second chance to reposition.  Of course, the adhesive was not the only means of adhering the material to the surfaces.  I also used two inch long stainless spikes that were bonded to the walls approximately about 16" on center.  The last picture shows the 90 degree connector I used at the top of the tank (return line) so as not to put a too tight bend in the hose.

I'm glad this project is behind me..on to the next one!

As one who has seen it 1st hand yesterday, I can say it is a great job. Nice work on the other projects Brian. Great spending time with you & Jennifer. Hope to do it again when in the area.

Great looking job Brian.  We have the exact same generator.  Have repaired radiator leak, replaced radiator mounts,  fixed broken air cleaner bracket and broken heat shield mount,  replaced fuel hoses, replaced automatic voltage regulator.  Will have to do the insulation in the near future.  Hope that's it for awhile.

Bill,

I purchased all of the materials from a place named Cyber Bridge Marine  888-270-8555 or 702-617-2710.  John was very helpful in guiding me to the correct product.  I used the 1" thick, 2lb per square foot material.  Engine soundproofing Insulation Barrier Marine  It consists of a layer of mass loaded vinyl sandwiched between two layers of polyether fire retardant foam covered by a thin vapor barrier facing.  When I do the engine compartment next month, I'll be using the 2" thick, 2lb per square foot material  Generator - Engine Room Soundproofing Barrier

Hope this helps!
Brian and Jen
