[Public-List] Blowers

[Greg Hounsell]

Stephen, mine is the same motor and set up. Maybe with it mounted to the
plywood bulkhead and acting as a drumhead, I find it very loud. Such that
if motoring I think it's louder than the A4 and conversation is difficult.

Looking for ideas to make things a lot more quiet.
