Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install the exhaust flapper valve:

  1. Ensure the engine is off and the exhaust system is cool to the touch.
  2. For 6-inch pipes, slide the flapper valve directly over the exhaust pipe outlet.
  3. For 5-inch pipes, you must first make two 45-degree cuts into the rubber housing to allow it to fit snugly.
  4. Position the flapper so the valve opens away from the transom, allowing exhaust gases to exit freely.
  5. Place the stainless steel clamp over the rubber housing where it meets the pipe.
  6. Tighten the clamp securely with a screwdriver or socket wrench until the flapper is held firmly in place. Do not overtighten, as this could damage the rubber.
  7. Visually inspect the installation to ensure a secure fit and correct orientation.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this flapper kit will fit my exhaust?

This kit is designed for exhaust pipes with a 5-inch or 6-inch outside diameter (OD). Measure the outer edge of your exhaust pipe to confirm the size. It is a universal fit for many inboard and I/O brands like Mercury, Chris-Craft, and Crusader using these pipe sizes.

What is the purpose of an exhaust flapper?

The flapper acts as a one-way valve on your exhaust outlet. It prevents water from surging back up the exhaust pipe when you are backing up, stopping suddenly, or in rough seas, which protects the engine from water damage.

My exhaust pipe is 5 inches. How do I modify the flapper to fit?

To fit a 5-inch OD pipe, you must make two 45-degree angle cuts into the rubber housing. This allows the rubber to slightly overlap and clamp down to the smaller pipe diameter for a secure seal.

Does its job
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-88''
For the price the quality is decent. The only thing I do not love is the panels are attached to each other with 3 plastic clips. Only 1 side of the panel is actually attached to wheels. The other side kind of sits on the bar and is held in place with those clips.

Light weight and large privacy screen
Color: Black, Color: Black
The privacy screen is light weight and of great quality. The screen can block sight and also is easy to set up. It screen is sturdy and stable. It is a cheap solution for separating paces in rooms. The privacy screen is of black color and good good in many places. It can be folded when not used and does not take much space for storage.
