| Exhaust Flappers |
 | |  | |  | |  |
Exhaust flappers are an important
component in the engine.
Flappers are required to keep water from
entering the exhaust when the boat
operator cuts the power at speed
("following seas").
Flappers are extremely important when the
boat is sitting in a slip or beached with the
engine shut-off. Waves and wakes can fill
up an engine very quickly.
The exhaust flappers should be inspected
and replaced regularly.
External flappers can be inspected at a
glance and changed with a screwdriver
(while the boat is in the water!).
Internal flappers can not be changed so
easily! The boat needs to be pulled from the
water and the exhaust tips need to be
removed from the transom!
