how far above water is your exaust, if it is above your transom assy. you don't need flappers, unless you are taking waves that high on the back of your boat.

I'd keep them if you can, good insurance if a big cruiser or bad weather sneds a big wave over the back.

Dittos. Plus when you slow down sometimes water can wash up against the transom/pipes. I have the salisbury (spelling ??) flaps to play it safe. But I still "feather" the throttle when I slow down or come to a stop..... again to be safe.
