Ultimate Protection for Your Boat: Hurley Muskrat Guards

Safeguard Your Vessel with Hurley Muskrat Guards

Hurley Muskrat Guards are crafted from a durable High-Performance Composite material, providing exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear. These adjustable guards can be easily installed inside the exhaust ports of your boat. Offers reliable protection against vermin that may attempt to enter through the exhaust system.

Boats equipped with a wet exhaust and a discharge opening of around 3″ or larger are particularly vulnerable. Rodents such as muskrats, water rats, and otters can swim up the exhaust. They can naw through coupling hoses inside the boat, or even construct nests. This risk is also present for vessels with underwater exhausts, as these animals often exploit underwater openings to access hollow areas. Such damage can lead to serious consequences, including the sinking of boats, even when safely moored at the dock.

Additional Advantages of Muskrat Guards

In addition to keeping vermin at bay, these exhaust guards, also known as Exhaust Mixers, facilitate the mixing of exhaust with water when reversing while fishing. This process reduces fumes from entering the cockpit and minimizes diesel soot accumulation on the boat’s stern, enhancing the overall comfort and cleanliness of your boating experience.

Installing Muskrat Guards is a straightforward process, and their adjustable design ensures a proper fit for various exhaust port sizes. By investing in these guards, boat owners can proactively prevent damage caused by vermin, which is often excluded from marine insurance policies. This measure not only protects the vessel but also provides valuable peace of mind to the owner.

Conclusion

Many boat owners may not realize that marine insurance policies frequently exclude damage caused by “vermin,” including muskrats and otters. Installing Hurley Muskrat Guards is a simple yet effective way to shield your boat from expensive damages and the risk of sinking.

Don’t leave things to chance—secure your vessel today with Hurley Muskrat Guards and enjoy peace of mind while on the water. By choosing these high-quality guards, you ensure the safety and longevity of your boat, allowing you to focus on enjoying your time on the water without worrying about unwanted pests.
