Sound dampening under motor cowling

[DiveLiberty]

Oh I wasn't trying to imply the merc parts would fit the old Johnson - just provide a visual as to what it is in case he couldn't find a corresponding OMC part and tried to fab something himself.

Great info, thanks for sharing.

Hi Onthewater : Did you notice a reduction in noise with that air silencer . The previous owner removed all the sound deadening material from engine on my my boat so this thread caught my attention , The noise from the carburetor bugs me sometimes .
I have tried to find the part you are using but it seems to be unavailable ( 853728 1 - COVER )

It made a significant difference. You could easily fab something similar as long as it'll take a little heat without deforming and reflect the noise coming out of the carb so it's not directed straight into the boat. I believe I found mine watching ebay for a bit, they come up every so often as people are clearing out old stock.
