Under-side doghouse fabric

[bruffcorn]

What is the black cloth/fabric called on the underside of the doghouse and where can I find it in the KC Metro area? Does it need to be some type of marine and/or heat resistant material?<br /><br />Thanks in advance.

I don't know about the KC area, unless you have a West Marine/BoatUS store.<br /><br />Otherwise.<br /><br />Here you go.<br /><br /><br /> http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wc...01&langId=-1&catalogId=10001&productId=111858

DJ - Thanks for the quick reply.<br /><br />I didn't explain myself very well. It's not actually the doghouse, it's right behind the engine compartment. <br /><br />I have an inboard with the small seats on each side of the doghouse. Right behind these seats and the doghouse, there's a "lid" that accesses the blower, bilge, batteries, etc. Currently the underside of this "lid" has some black fabric or cloth paper - it's not the same material that is on the underside of the doghouse.<br /><br />DJ, does this change your answer or would you still use the same stuff?

Is this similar to what you might find under a car hood? For sound deadening? Try JC Whitney or a wrecking yard

Nope - it's not like under a car hood. It's not thick like that, it's almost like some type of thick felt paper/fabric. It is black and has some rigidity to it. I didn't know if there was some type of heat resistant, marine grade fabric/paper because it will get some heat coming off the motor???

Sounds like upholstery dust cloth. Maybe a fabrics store that sells furniture upholstery?
