The Scorpius* (90 ft steel) has a smaller off peak generator with a sound blanket that was installed due to the lack of space for a proper enclosure, and it works ok.* If it were fit better (it sits around a stainless steel framework) no doubt it would work better, and it's an idea I support.* A bigger problem with that generator is the intake noise.* Much work was done to silence this thing, including professional vibration / noise studies, and it was determined the intake was the worst offender.* A 4ft long piece of rubber hose with a silencer at the end now serves as the intake.* Prior to that, it was under a 25ft high steel exhaust trunk, and it caused a resonance throughout the whole boat, and it was really hard to isolate.* Once found the simple repair was quite effective.........Arctic Traveller
