I am rebuilding the engine compartment/cover for an inboard engine. The vinyl is ok and I plan on reusing it but the wood was also covered in a foam rubber-like padding. Probbaly 1/8" thick. And it appears glued to the wood. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I should use here for this padding? Should I just go to a fabric store and find something vaguely similar or is there an actualy marine-grade padding I should be looking for? If so, what is it called?

Thanks!

do not get regular upholstery foam for it will mold up on you. what you need to look for is a closed cell foam with a mildew and mold retardant.
