BOAT LIFE: I'm falling apart | EE 74

[@berinslaptop]

I've installed many water makers. There are TWO aspects to the noise they generate. Hard contact energy transfer (mounts) and air evergy transfer. As to the mounts, the pump needs total isolation rubber bushing mounts. ZERO metal to metal contact, the second aspect done in the video is the sound dampening material. You would be better off using 4" SOUND-DOWN. It is not cheap, The build design of sound down is what makes it such a good isolator. By design it has a silver mylar surface face (thickness depending) with 2" of foam, then a lead/rubber center sheet. the middle layer is about 1/4" thick, then an other 2" of foam. It is heavy by design, requires FAST FOAM 74 and hanger pins for vertical and upside down mounting. Then entire bed box would need to be coated with different thicknesses as needed. The other option is to generate a sound down coated wood box inside and out around the pump.The box its self will also need to be isolated from hard mounting to the bed. That will drop the sound if done well by 20-50 %. If you have questions I'm a master marine tech with decades in the bizz and YES I'm in south florida.

[@markhavlek30]

Agree with this, you need to completely isolate the pump from the boat structure. Just like with air conditioners, you need to use an isolation mount.

[@enmodo]

and right now the air insulation is mostly pointless because the vibration through the mounting is basically causing the entire hull to act as a sounding board.

[@mrfarmer532]

Excellent answer. I hope Bret takes your advise.

[@roysmart847]

​@@markhavlek30loo No

[@matthewlowell605]

I was wondering if putting it right under the bed was a good idea…..seems very loud

[@baggyrock]

Hey Brett. You need isolation mounts for the pump. The way you mounted it the sound waves just transfer through the bolt so you won’t achieve any sound isolation.

[@stevejones9788]

Agreed, we call them Cotton reel mounts here in the UK. They have bolts either end with rubber in-between.

[@imdo301]

Nope

[@farout1220]

Agree 100%! I'd also be concerned about cooling air flow for that motor, it has to be a hot one for sure.

for living areas you want warm white leds, it has a much nicer light. the harsh white lights are used for work areas!

[@EPOCHJACK]

As a boater myself when it comes to sound deadening with little intrusion I have used Butyl car sound deadening material, It has Hex embossed aluminium backing for heat isolation and is Very soft & flexible for easy installation. Might be the go to for many issues for you. With the water maker maybe a sound isolation box around it taking in heat dissapation and never forget the surrounding hull structure will resonate from any sound with or without a deadening box!

[@repatch43]

By far one of the simplest and longest lasting changes you can make in almost any room is the lighting. Looks great!

[@davidparker8475]

Brett, we replaced all 20 led lights on our sailboat with led bulbs. Amps used per hour for all 20 lights changed from 20 to 2 amps! Every amp counts.

[@PHmaddnes]

Recommendation; Get a borescope camera and magnet attachment if you don't already have one. They are cheap and can save you hours trying to retrieve little metal parts that have disappeared into the nether regions of your boat.

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Hi Donna!

[@johnpieters8918]

Hi, what you need is isolation rubbers. The bolt through the rubber still transmits the vibration to the wood that acts as a resonator. The isolation is separate bolts in a rubber compound. You should be able to get them through amazon or local mechanical supply dealer.

[@jansmit4628]

Remember that 3dB less is achieved by halving the noise level. So 2dB down is not that bad for using rubber mountings, a thin layer of dampening material on the lids and some random placed pieces on the walls.

[@clivewilliams3661]

I think that you have three problems with the acoustics of the pump. 1) The pump is not rated as being for quiet operation. There is a noticeable difference between a normal pump and motor and a quiet version. 2) The pump sits on a thin timber board that acts like a sounding board to amplify the sound. It really ought to sit on a sold base that has a significant mass. I would normally use a concrete paving slab cut to shape and then glue that down onto the board with an interlayer of medium density foam (particle foam is quite useful as it is made up of different densities that attenuate different frequencies). The pump has to be fixed to the concrete and not through bolted to the base board. 3) AV dampers are not through bolted as the vibration transfers through the fixing bolt to the base. AV dampers are usually a block of rubber with bonded bolts top and bottom to secure to the pump and the base so that there is rubber between the solid fixings. On land the AV dampers can be just placed without bolting to the mas base but where there is motion they need to be bolted to both motor and mass base. One acoustic enclosure that I have been particularly impressed with is one that is a full box shape made of rubber sheet with an interlayer of lead, the acoustic attenuation is remarkable. The rubber absorbs the higher frequencies and the lead damps the low frequencies. This unit is completely loose to allow the sheet to flex freely.

[@benhowe2087]

Build a sound proof box and mount the pump in the box. Leave room for airflow. Have a hose feeding air in and out. Use a convoluted hose with bends and have chambers off the hose to muffle the sound.

Nice work Brett. After cruising for 14 years the number one tool I used was a heat gun. You have to get rid of that butane lighter for heat shrinking electrical connections. You will burn yourself or start a fire at some point with that lighter. Heat guns are quick and easy and much safer. Good luck!

[@SkypowerwithKarl]

I’ve done a few fresh water pumps and had a lot of success. Lightly restrained SOFT mounts with no metal to metal contact is the key. I’ve even used only two holes and made a third point of suspension because the pump’s center of gravity was not in the mounting flange and caused heavy twisting on the rubber mounts. Also isolate the hoses from the hull, bulkheads or anything that can act as a sounding board. Soft foam rubber spacers or rubber suspension strips can help. My one concern however is heat. That pump is quite powerful and much of its energy is putting out heat in that small enclosed space. On a hot day and a long running time I’d be concerned. For the time being I’d like to a little monitoring thermometer just to be sure.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

As suspension point is very clever.

A knife that holds an edge like crazy is the Kershaw Leek. (Don't remember why all the knives have onion themed names.) It absolutely will not close on you. It has a torsion bar opening and can always be opened one handed in two different ways. Positively requires two hands to close. The instructions advise strongly to not try to open it with two hands, however. I learned that the hard way a few minutes after I bought it - The torsion bar acts as a surprise little spring and the tip buried itself in the palm of my free hand. Lifetime guarantee against anything including carelessness or stupidity. Perfect knife for me. I partly destroyed mine when I laid down a motorcycle.

[@doctroxel1921]

Yes. Boat projects with Brett is a winning approach.

[@jefflange3009]

You need rubber gasket on both sides of the wood shelf. From top to bottom: nut, washer, water maker, rubber gasket, wood shelf, rubber gasket, washer, bolt head. Ideally, a rubber bushing in the hole of the wood support the bolt would pass through. This would isolate all rigid mounting from the super structure of the boat. Depending on if the motor heats up during use, insulate around the motor.

[@trippmeares1074]

Boat projects with Brett was a major hit. Please consider it for a regular feature.

[@davidcurle7381]

Hi noise control is sometines called vibration isolation. To achieve true isolation, any rubber has to compress 20% on it's own. Ie before any bolts or screws are tightened. Most engine mounts are constructed with upper bolt that do not connect through the rubber to the hull. Secondly the connecting pipes can transmit the Vibration. The way to fix this is to make a loop with each pipe and each connecting wire. And yes I was an acoustics engineer.

[@mrpenn4613]

For the sake of lazy days, and your eyes, I'd suggest adding a warm 3200ish string of rope light, or something, under the cabinets so you can have a little light with out going blind. Great video as always!

ProTip: when replacing wiring, use the old wire to pull the new wire in directly off the spool or coil... another nice trick is to also pull one or more string or twine to use for pull lines later in case you want/need to pull more wire through the same route... try to keep the strings parallel with the wire as you pull it in... you don't want it to wrap around the length of the wire for obvious reasons 😉anyway, nice job! keep up the good work! 😺

[@gordieconnelly5844]

There is a debonder for super glue but nail polish remover works. Also the foam will soften the sound but not stop it, your motor is in a drum. Use the same kind of stuff that is in your engine room. You guys are doing a great job well done.

For soundproofing, what you want is a product called Dynamat - it's foamed butyl rubber with an adhesive backing, used in the auto stereo industry to dampen sound. Since it is butyl, it should also be pretty moisture/mold resistant.

[@DJewell]

Brett, you need to isolate the pump motor bolts from the boat mounting. That will help a little more but I don't think it will reduce it anymore 3 to 5db. Good Luck.

[@jons6125]

Mass is important and often overlooked when it comes to sound proofing. If you could add a heavy rubber matt over the top or under of the bead boards it would probably help (ventilation permitting). Also making the board the pump is mounted on as solid and heavy as possible would probably help reduce noise. The more immovable it is the more the rubber feet will work to absorb the vibration. Also adding weight to the pump will change the frequency to maybe something less intrusive.

[@mattpelz986]

To cut down the water maker noise or anything like it. Rubber mount it (like an engine) cut up a cutting board, hockey puck ect. To make shims/block between the shaky motor and the surface it mounts to. Stop the harmonic of the wood or fiberglass. That’s what I would try anyway. Good luck.

[@SuperSrjones]

The bolt from the motor base to the wooden panel is transferring the vibration. You need a mount similar to an aircraft military heavy radio isolation mount, If you know any aircraft mechanics/j The wood panels will also work like a guitar and amplify the sound, maybe some draft seal tape around the edges of the panels to insulate them too.

When we have installed our water pump on our boat we worked out that a lot of the noise actually came through the pipes. We covered as much of the inlet and outflow pipes with closed sell insulating pipe. This cut out a huge amount of noise.

[@rfdinesen4027]

Nice job on all the projects. If you decide to change the lights in other locations, you might want to go for a warmer temperature they often will call them warm white but that really doesn't tell you anything. Look for a kelvin temp of 2700 or 3000. The higher kelvin no. the bluer it is, lower - warmer. They will still be very bright if they are LEDs but also compare foot candles if there is more than one option - higher = brighter.

I have been doing so many boat projects that I intend to film, but just don't have the time. Just because of your video about the watermaker, I am filming that one. Seems the hardest part is finding a place for it. I had a gopro 5 (disappeared) and replaced it with a 10. So far the battery last longer than the 5, but I am amazed by the stabilization. Hopefully I can find the time to finish my watermaker (the same one you have without the panel), but getting new trim tabs and the bottom done is crucial. I hope to run into you two someplace in the Bahamas. I plan on getting there by mid May. A little late, but it took almost a year to find a good boat on a budget.

[@srmixalot1764]

You need a more solid of a base plate for the motor ( Looks like it is wood now ) to avoid the vibrations.. If it is hollow under the motor it will send an echo sound through out the rest of the void. Also you might need to use rubber bushings at the mount points for the bolts for the mounting plate / board to the hull.

Soundproofing is not easy. The material you use are good for tuning a room reverberation but not for soundproofing. The first thing is to make sure you do not transmit vibration to the structure. You need to try different rubber mounts to find the hardness that fit best with the motor vibration characteristics. Then you need to enclose as much as possible the space to prevent air from leaking out. Any opening will let noise getting out. It becomes an issue if you need to dissipate heat from the motor. Then there is the possibility to design a maze so the sound waves lose energy while going through it. This is what the silencer does on a vehicle exhaust. The next thing to do is to use heavy materials on all the walls to absorb the energy. Dynamat is a well known brand used in car audio. You can double than with Greenglue.

[@lucjean5610]

Hello Brett, I think the pump inlet may be getting some air. An other possibility is the pump is too high from the inlet water level and this creates vapor bubbles in the inlet line. That can make it very noisy. And will damage your pump with the cavitation.

Brett, I am glad you are feeling better and this was a good video. Packed with projects and progress. Let me suggest, just like on a diesel or gas generator, build a sound-deadening box around your electric motor for the water maker.

[@edrosenberger6947]

Setting here, the high pressure pump sounds like it is cavitating and the pump would normally be jumping around. If so, the inlet pressure of the pump is too low. The systems I'm aware of have a low pressure pump that pressurizes the suction side of the high pressure pump. This also can happen if suction hoses are too small or filters are almost clogged. Cavitation can quickly destroy the pump valves and bearings.

[@jerrysmith3515]

Hi Brett, I know the water maker is necessary but that level sound is awfully loud. Have you considered constructing a box with those rubber panels on the inside to block the sound? If those panels don't help much go to the Internet looking for information on audio sound dampening for cars. That stuff is not cheap but it does a good job. Good luck.

I think the majority of the noise is the vibration through the fiberglass that is under the bunk. I bet if you use some of the self adhesive mass vinyl sound mat on the fiberglass around the pump it will make a huge difference in both sound and vibration, you might cut 5 or more decibels.

[@mkllove]

Like the tagline "Boatwork w/Brett", but would also like to see Jade's boatwork as an occasional segment too... on the cyanocrylate problem, try WD40 or olive oil if you're sensitive to the kerosene/petroleum distillate in WD40. Both are slow acting; so grasp some paper towels or wear gloves to keep you from messing up all the boat with oily fingerprints... wash off after 5-10 minutes. Will likely take two widely spaced (time) treatments to show good results. All you're doing is encouraging your skin to shed the bonded glue with a layer of skin. You could also go swimming and stay in until your fingers "prune up". Your noise problem is only half done.. the other panels and hull are all vibrating directly or indirectly. Hope your energy levels return !
