Flapper took a chit.
Fired up the fresh 525's yesterday and one spit the internal flapper in the exhaust tip out on the ground. I have the F'n thing, question is can it be put back in?
Could one weld it back in? Is it welded in in the first place?
Teague has a replacement flapper that claims no welding required, anyone ever have to deal with this?

I had one pop out of a stainless Marine tip. It was an old design and there was an updated one available so I ordered a set and had my guy weeks them in. Worked like a charm.
I haven't messed with the non welded ones.

I believe the rubber flapper is bolted by 2 bolts and a small retention plate at the top.. Check CP performance.

Exactly like that. Cross shaft broke off where attached. Teague has something looking like it that they state is a no weld required fix. Have thought of having a local machine shop, used them before for other things, just weld it back in.
Picked the boat up yesterday from my engine guy, so now that I have it back I can look into the fix.
Thanks for the post, I have looked at the CMI site but have not seen that. Is that a slip in replacement unit? Mine is made right into the tailpipe.

Im not a big fan of the clamshell type. Once one starts to break you'll notice that you start having problems with the rest. If you havent realized, they make a lot of noise any way.
Clip, clop, clip clop, clip clop clippity, clop.
Just buy new tips.

The photo is of a slip-in. Stainless Marine makes various versions of the one-way.
They are not quiet however the bonded 'rubber' coating around the edges mitigates the noise. I have one set that were made in 2001, still work fine. I needed internal as I have Shotgun 1 tips also.
On yet another boat, we just added the newer design Hardin Marine rubber flapper tips, work well after a bit of trimming. Will be super easy to repair if necessary.
