VALVE 4W FML 1/4NPT MPN-1844658

Protect your marine engine from the damaging effects of water backflow with the 32-08302 Exhaust Water Shutter. This critical component acts as a one-way valve, designed to prevent seawater or exhaust water from entering the engine's exhaust system when the engine is not running. This is particularly important for boats operating in conditions where the exhaust outlet can be submerged, such as at rest in the water or when trailing the boat. By ensuring water remains out of the engine cylinders and exhaust manifolds, this shutter significantly reduces the risk of corrosion, hydrolock, and other costly internal engine damage.

• Key Features
• Prevents Water Backflow: Effectively stops water from entering the engine via the exhaust system.
• Hydrolock Prevention: Minimizes the risk of catastrophic engine damage from water entering the cylinders.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the harsh marine environment, including saltwater exposure and exhaust heat.
• Enhanced Engine Longevity: Contributes to a longer operational life for your marine engine.

The 32-08302 Exhaust Water Shutter is an indispensable part of any marine engine's defense against the elements. Its simple yet effective design ensures that when your engine is off, the exhaust system is sealed against unwanted water ingress. This is especially crucial for boats that are moored or docked for extended periods, or those that experience significant wave action. The peace of mind that comes with knowing your engine is protected from potential water damage is invaluable for any boat owner. This shutter helps maintain the integrity of your engine's internal components, ensuring it starts reliably and performs optimally every time you head out on the water.

This water shutter is designed for a wide range of marine applications where exhaust water backflow is a concern. It is a vital component for maintaining the overall health and reliability of your marine propulsion system. By investing in a high-quality exhaust water shutter, you are taking a proactive stance against potential engine failure and costly repairs. Its robust construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of continuous use and the challenging marine environment, providing dependable protection season after season. Ensure your engine's long-term performance and value by incorporating this essential protective device into your boat's exhaust system.
