All the construction equipment has attached caps that rotate open under

True, but soup cans are cheaper, Most of the watermen I knew didn't have
alot of $$ to spare on flappers, or we're just plain cheap. As a matter
of fact the same dockmate I mentioned pulled that 455 out of an old
Pontiac to use in his boat. I made the keel coolers for him.
Sometimes in order to make a living, and put food on the table you have
to be creative. UD
