Is this flapper ok?-gctid344808

[Guest]

I think this is called a Flapper on my VP 270 outdrive. Is it time to replace it or is it still ok?

Thank you.

That one looks to be home made, as stated you cannot buy the rubber flap separately.

If you can push it closed with a finger, then the water surging against it will also. If not then you may want to replace it.

Here you go, make offer:
