Something to consider
I just made this post on another thread and it brought your resolution to mind:
Quote:
If memory serves, Catalina stopped installing the check valve at the same time as they made other exhaust changes like the external flapper and the jumbo waterlift. Did one predicate the other? I dunno but the question is, are you confident the check valve is not a benefit in your particular exhaust setup? When my check valve failed (they all do sooner or later due to the steel hinge pin) I didn't feel strongly it was necessary but Catalina did so I deferred to their design considerations and replaced it with an all stainless valve.

Neil - Thanks. Definitely something for me to consider. For this week I'm motoring about five miles on the intercoastal to the boat's new berth without it. I'm going to get a replacement on order tomorrow, as well as a new through hull and exhaust hose. My hot section and mixer are fairly new and in good shape.

I'll repeat for emphasis, I'm not saying I think the valve is needed but neither am I saying it's not. Catalina felt it was. When I sourced my replacement stainless valve (McMaster-Carr) I confirmed the flapper hinge pin was stainless too.
Good luck on your relocation.
