    Installing New OEM Egg Crate Foam for Engine Hatch?

    Thanks... I totally agree. The egg crate foam has been awesome as an insulater in my boat. Engine noise has never entered my mind. Thanks. Ray 👍

    Installing New OEM Egg Crate Foam for Engine Hatch?

    Thanks Scott..... Ahhh.... limitations of the ole wallet. You're so right...LOL Sound level has always been excellant to say the least however, I'm definitely open to others like Soundown. I reached out to them as well as Dap Weldwood, Loctite and a couple Hanger, pin, cap companies for...

    Installing New OEM Egg Crate Foam for Engine Hatch?

    Thanks... That may be a great alternative. It certainly would make an easier overall application along with less masking. I'm not sure how well it would hold up with the climate changes but, it's something to dig into for sure. I'll send out an email to Dap Weldwood. Thanks. Ray 👍

    Installing New OEM Egg Crate Foam for Engine Hatch?

    Thanks.... That would be ideal but, it's quite a big heavy hatch due to being part of the seating along with storage locker's molded into the back side. Seat pads could be removed but, other than that it would be quite heavy and awkward for two people. I would love to go that route mainly due to...

    Installing New OEM Egg Crate Foam for Engine Hatch?

    Thanks.... I'm considering that as well. I sent Soundown an email asking for additional information on their's. You're absolutely right about the egg crate insulation. Mine lasted since 2006 and just started to flake this past fall along with failing adhesive. I'm sure I would be quite lucky if...

    Installing New OEM Egg Crate Foam for Engine Hatch?

    Thanks Scott.... That's a great idea. I've been trying to figure out a good way to keep the underside compressed for at least 24-48 hours. The two smaller side pieces wouldn't be as much of an issue. The 3M 08090 adhesive I mentioned that takes three coats per side is suppose to have enough...

    Installing New OEM Egg Crate Foam for Engine Hatch?

    Thanks.... That's a good suggestion. I've used mastics on both carpet and kitchen countertop ceramic tile. I know on tile, is sucks / grabs to very well. With foam, I'm sure it would take some time to cure to stay in place. That's the bad thing about this install, it's on the underside of the...

    Installing New OEM Egg Crate Foam for Engine Hatch?

    Thanks.... I've used PL as an adhesive caulk many times which is a great adheisive. In fact, I like it better than Liquid Nails. It does have great holding power but, for my hatch it would be next to impossible for me to use due to being on the underside. I can't think of a way to keep the foam...

    Installing New OEM Egg Crate Foam for Engine Hatch?

    Thanks..... I really don't have any concerns at all about the egg crate foam that FourWinns Boat Manufacturer is using. They have been using this same egg crate foam since 2006 that I know of and still are. I'm comfortable knowing this company has done their homework in regards to using a fire...

    Installing New OEM Egg Crate Foam for Engine Hatch?

    Thank you..... As for contact cement, I've read that sometimes it works and sometimes not. I live in Michigan therefore, my boat has a change of climates which may alter good adhesion over time. I'm familiar with 3M 77 and a few other's. The problem with those is sticking to the proper...

    Installing New OEM Egg Crate Foam for Engine Hatch?

    Hi, I'm getting ready to replace my engine hatch 2 1/2" egg crate foam for my 2006 244 FourWinns. I'll be using new oem egg crate foam that is still currently being used by FourWinns. I'm looking for a good adhesive that has a great heat resistance that will grab and hold up over time. I've been...

    2006 Four Winns 244 5.7 GXI-GF Alternator Harness Connection?

    Hi, I performed my normal winterizing last fall and I'm now getting my 2006 Four Winns Funship deck boat with 5.7 GXI-GF gas engine ready for the season. I noticed a two wire alternator connector disconnected on the lower back side of it. I'd like to add, this connector only has one wire...

    Paint Plugged my Volvo Penta Hi/Low Fuel Pump

    No way will I spend around a $1000.00 for a repeat! I have no doubt someone foreseen this. The worst thing is, I haven't seen an official correction anywhere that VP has changed their process. That tells me, they simply don't care....Period. Thanks for your input. 👍😊
