This episode is all about restoring and sound proofing engine room hatches on my Albin 27 pocket trawler. The Albin 27 has a very large engine compartment for a inboard marine diesel engine. To sound proof the engine hatches, I'm using Soundown acoustic sound deadening material. But first I have to repair some damaged fiberglass in my boat engine compartment. This episode I'm reminded of the Forgotten Rule of Amateur Boat Restoration.
Welcome to my boat building channel! This is my trawler restoration of an Albin 27 pocket trawler. Every couple of weeks I post a boat building or boat repair video to document various boat projects, sailboat restorations, or boat repairs.

My hatches flexed also, but the problem was actual flexing of one of the hatches. I had to add reinforcing strips on the bottom of that hatch. I suspect that my 1984 hatches had different reinforcement. Your boat is a few years newer, so it was probably built differently (better). I'm using a less expensive high density sound insulation covered with aluminum adhesive backed sheet. The new Beta 50 diesel is quieter than the original engine, but no matter what we do, these boats are still a bit loud.

Interesting. You can see the half round supports glassed into the underside of my hatches in the video. This is what makes my hatches stiff and heavy.

#11 is usually a feel-good action taken by the restorer during a long term project. It feels like something is accomplished. But in reality its out of order and its proper place is a long time later. Double whammy.

👍exactly -it’s the lure of easy success

Also this can really derail your budget and cause the restorer to loose interest later or not have time do to trying to recouped money spent on materials and parts that wasn't needed yet

Look forward to the DIY soundproofing stuff.

This will be an interesting project. It may be more of a wall covering than sound proofing. But it’s important to keep the engine room neat and easy to clean

Thinking out loud, no disrespect as I have zero experience with soundproofing. Would it make sense to lay the sound proofing and terminate it before the lip so there is less chance of it tearing near the edge and getting wet. Then place another section of sound proofing from that edge to the lip. If that narrow section tears from friction or something else, water will be stopped from entering the main section.

Interesting idea William. There’s some limitations in the original hatch design from the factory( not covered in the video) that don’t really allow this. Now it’s all reinforced and easy to repair now. No worries going forward 👍
