Long story short, I lost an impeller and didn't notice it until the high temp alarm went off. After I raised the hatch I smelled burning rubber and the exhaust was HOT, duh, so I'm thinking I torched the internal flappers.
The engine is a '96 502mag with captain's call. Which flappers do I need? It has external ones on the exhaust tips outside the hull, but I'm thinking it has internal ones as well.
Thanks, Cole

Put them on the Swap Shop section - you might be able to sell them for enough to pay for new tips and exhaust hoses. Keep in mind that you will have to pull drives and raise the engine up out of the way to remove the Y-pipes. You will have to find the correct block off plate for the exhaust passage in the transom assembly. Probably easier to just leave the diverters and take the butterfly off of them so they will act like the Corsa Quick N Quiet setup. That way you will have it flowing out the transom as well as out the prop.
