Started the boat the other day and had a clattering sound. found the exhaust resonator had blew back into the exhaust flapper in the thru hull tube. One side actually was holding the flap closed while the other was stuck at about half way. So question is do I throw away the resonators or fix them?

I guess I really don't follow you here. Is this resonator in the tail pipe section or a part of the Merc manifold? The reversion ring between the manifold and tail pipe? The internal flapper part of the tail pipe? Got pics? Call me and I'll try to steer you right here, water in the wrong places can bite you in the azz.

Here's a pic of the part. Saw another post on here in regards and the keep it or toss it posts were about a 50-50 split. It resides inside the rubber hose between the engine and the thru hull exhaust tip.
