I see no evidence where any flapper was ever previously installed in my boat.
Very curious if I have the same hardware as others.
I’ve posted some detailed photos to my photo album. Unfortunately, I’m using an iPhone and it is not as easy to view the source as it used to be on a laptop to attach an image to this post.
If you have a moment to check my album and tell me where this flap would go, that would be pretty awesome.
Thanks,

John,
I looked in your album but didn't see the deck drain output on the outside of your boat. Please let me know if I missed it, I'm happy to help!
Anyway, on my boat, the deck drain goes through a deck fitting, interconnect hose that is very short, then to the through-hull fitting where this little flapper valve is screwed in. The 255's have a very stiff plastic flapper that doesn't work even when new My design discards the factory flapper and replaces it with a 3D printed hinge in the shape of a circle with a stainless pin through it.
