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

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. |
