We eagerly await the pictures so we can properly critique it. I ran
across this one in Crisfield, MD last September and thought it might be
something like yours:

Looks alot like the setup I had on my old crab boat, Pot hauler and all,
Also very effective for single handling, push the stick forward turn to
port, pull back to go starboard.
Mine had wet exhaust though, my dockmate had a drystacked workboat with
a 455 in it, and to keep the water out would stick old soup cans on the
stacks. One morning as I was crossing his boat to get to mine he hit the
starter button forgetting to uncap the exhaust,and they flew off with
one hitting me square in the head, *&^% that hurt!
Always watched out for soup cans and drystacked boats after that. UD

All the construction equipment has attached caps that rotate open
under exhaust pressure. Those dealers have parts departments.

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

I know exactly what you mean! I grew up on a farm and when something
broke, you didn't take it to the shop, you fixed it. I sure learned
alot that way, though. It amazes me when I see people my age and
younger that don't know how to do anything for themselves.
