I'm trying to avoid having to change the complete thru hull just because the flapper on the inboard engine's exhaust fitting is broken.

I cleaned it back in June before the boat was launched and tried glueing it but it didn't hold up. The flapper is all I need.

Hi Daniel,

I found a product that works like magic ... maybe you can use it to repair the flapper. It is called "QuickSteel" ... I bought it at Wal-Mart.

I am really impressed with this stuff, because it has worked every time I've used it. It is easy to use, it can be drilled, tapped, sanded, painted, or whatever, and it'll even cure underwater. Normal curing time is 15 minutes, and it is hard as a rock after it sets up.

Even if it doesn't repair your flapper, it's a great item to keep in your boat's tool kit ... it has a shelf life of 3 years.

'Hope that helps ... good luck!
