So I noticed today after returning from a day offshore that my exhaust flap was gone. I notice that some boats don't have them. The type I had was a flange with a hinged flap;not the clamp on style.
My questions are...1.is it absolutely necessary to have one?
2.Can I install a simply rubber flap,screwed to the transom
above the exhaust outlet?
It appears to be a fairly difficult job to replace the flanged outlet,not to speak of the haul out.
