Exhaust Flappers
Went to replace the bellows on my 242 and found that the flappers on the exhaust tips are gone. Has any one retrofitted[ATTACH=CONFIG]566193[/ATTACH] new flaps without removing the exhaust tips?

Yes, you drill out the rivets and the new ones go in from inside the bilge, wicked easy. I dont remember the part # though

You need these internal flappers with the cage assembly that bolts right in. I have these. Hope this page link works. But you need the ones for flat tips. The link I have posted is for angle tips. Jeff wurl. http://www.marineindustrieswest.com/...9&CFTOKEN=2990

Thanks. ID of the tips is 3.5in. Not sure if thes will fit. I'll call them and check it out. Seems like there is little risk of backlow into the risers with the silent thunder.

I bent a rod after my friend backed my boat in a little fast and a little deep with the flappers missing in my y-pipe so no way I'd not replace the flappers in the tips even with the silent thunder box still in place. I'd also make sure the rubber flappers are still in place on the box.
