Many exhaust installations include shutters (flappers), at the top of the exhaust "Y" pipe where each leg joins the rubber exhaust elbow leading to the exhaust riser. The water shutters act as one-way valves to prevent water from traveling backwards into the exhaust risers, manifolds, or even the engine cylinders.
When the engine is not running, the flapper springs open, blocking following seas or beach waves from entering the exhaust system. (Some designs are simpler asymmetric flappers.)
When the engine is running, the flow of exhaust pushes the shutter open.

Water shutters are exposed to repeated heat cycling and saltwater abuse that can speed up the corrosion process and cause failure; routine inspection and replacement is strongly advised to protect your expensive engine.
Sierra has engineered these water shutters to match the OEM shutters on many MerCruiser installations and protect water from traveling back into the engine via the exhaust system.
