Funny that this thread came back. I just found this after our last run in Lake Pacifica. The welds held, but the flapper just broke down the middle :o

As I was flushing the salt from the motors one of the other flappers, rod and all puked out right in front of me. I'm down two tips in one day.

The retrofit I mentioned in the earlier post did not work for me. They do not fit well into the hose and distort the area where the clamps fit around the tips on the inside...so they leak.

That is three tipsI will have replaced. I have now have three spare tips with no flappers if anyone wants them, it would just be the cost of the ride from Hawaii to your address. PM me and we can work something out.

@g Wow! Man I've never even heard of them breaking in half like that! And more than one, that's odd.
If there's a good side, it happened in front of you rather than on the water. At least you knew about it.
When your exhaust pukes out metal....that's bad, I'm just sayin..

Capt. I'm gonna have to keep and sharp eye on mine now too! Especially as close to the water line as mine are.

FASTech those are the same style flappers that came with my new tips. There not too hard to replace once the tips are installed. I put the rubber ones back on one engine on my boat. To see if there was any difference in sound or water flow. There's really not much difference if there in or out sound wise. Water flow more runs out than thrown out. I was surprised how little difference there was in sound.
They sure are pretty when you take them out of the box arnt they?
