Neoprene Under the Muffler

[BrennanK]

Last season I found the neoprene pad sitting in my bilge. I got some Gator Grip from Chris this winter to replace the missing pad. I was wondering what is the best way to install it? Do I need to remove the middle floor panel in my 97 Ski, or can I work it in through the access hole? Does the neoprene go under the entire muffler, or just part?

Thanks for the help.

removing floor panel is easy - remove engine box cover and then it lifts right up. Neoprene goes under muffler to reduce noise and vibration - just re taped mine today

I removed the motor box and the rear floor. Then today I went to install the pad which I received from CC. To my surprise the pads were not sticky enough to ad hear to the hull. I am thinking about using some LocTite to glue the pads down. What do you think? Any other suggestions?

3M Spray adhesive also works

I used 3M 77 spray adhesive on mine. Locktite should work as well
