Be sure that those will work on your boat. Mine flip up against bottom side of swim platform. Looks like those will hit at the hinge flange, or if anything rattle against the swim platform and be noisier and wear into the gel. That is if your tips are at the very top like mine are. Not sure if there is a different height between our yr 32's.
Worth a look see. Those would not fit, let alone open on my boat. I don't see the issue with the rubber outside ones, only visible when on the trailer |

Good point... I think my plan has been foiled! Mine look just like yours and sit up against the swim platform also. Unless the hinge is "smaller" and doesn't extend upwards as much and if the flaps don't "over extend" they won't work on a 32. Maybe HyFive can comment on these issues?

Yes my rubber ones rub on the swim platform. Are your "new" ones as tall as the old rubber ones and do they have anything that "limits" the upward travel of the stainless flap?

You can get this flap and the muffler comes for free!
http://www.drewmarine.com/products/shotgun/shotgun.html Still comes out cheaper than the CP part.:silenced: Wish they made em in a 5" for my current set up. I ran the 4" and they are a very nice quality piece. |
Dan, how long did they last (hours)? And what kind of power was if front of them?

Haven't compared them side by side, so not sure but the big difference is that the rubber ones will flex if the clearance is tight, the stainless ones, will not. There is a small steel "nub" on the back side of the hinge that does limit the travel. I don't think it will go past 3:00. I haven't installed them yet so really haven't looked at them a lot. Here's what they look like..

It`s only muffled at idle and even then it only takes out the bark. They set the spring pressure according to your power level so at speed they are open .

neat idea, but I wouldn't substitute those for flappers because of the slots on the bottom you are going to loose the check valve effect, which can make the engine more prone to reversion. Remember Budman's reversion thread?
