[QUOTE="squeekycurd, post: 474936, member: 25849"] Thanks for the reply CedarRiverScooter! The rear dam/wing was installed for both sound control as well as water control. When I was testing the mechanical assembly without an engine cover, I let off the throttle quickly from a low speed which caused a good bit of water to enter over the transom. I figured when the engine cover was installed, that water would now be on my back. Ear muffs are still required, I will be testing sound deadening foams around the engine soon. This foam you speak of, is it Foamular or whatever brand of insulating foam used on homes? If so, its quite rigid, how would one go about shaping it to fit the curved profile of the hull? Do you happen to have any examples of this? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
