I have an old outboard Johnson 175. It's loud. I want to line the inside of the cowling with something. ANy suggestions? It had some type of spongy material on the inside, but it was dry rotted and falling on the engine, so I pulled it out.

I had the same problem with my Yahama Rhino. Ace hardware has a foil backed insulation I installed under the engine cover and it made it a LOT quieter for cheap. Just make sure it doesn't get in the way of throttle linkages ect.
