Muskrat Exhaust Guard 3 3/4" to 5" Exhaust Discharge Opening (1 pair)
Any boat that has a wet exhaust with a discharge opening of about three inches or larger is at risk. A Muskrat, aka Water Rat, can and will swim up the exhaust and then chew through a coupling hose to the inside of the boat. That also includes boats with underwater exhausts as these rodents usually look for underwater entrances leading upwards to hollowed out chambers. This is how many boats sink, even while tied to the dock. Watch this video of a muskrat in an exhaust port.
- Comes in pairs
- Installs in Minutes
- Stainless Steel Construction
- No Penetration to the Hull
- Guards can be Painted
- 1 Year Full-Factory Warranty
None of us have the time, nor the money, to deal with these nasty rodents. Hurley Marine Muskrat Guards are 316 stainless steel, adjustable, and install inside the exhaust ports which create a screen of protection. Guards are adjusted outward by stainless rods, creating friction to the inside of the port, with no penetration to the hull. Installs in minutes. Protection available in different sizes, depending upon the size of your exhaust port.
This product is also known as an Exhaust Mixer for when backing down on fish it will mix the exhaust with water to keep the fumes from entering the cockpit or to just minimize the diesel soot on the stern of your boat.
Marine insurance policies typically exclude damage caused by “vermin,” which includes muskrats. None of us have the time nor money to deal with these nasty rodents. Don't take these rodents lightly, they can do great damage or even sink your boat if they chew through your non-metal parts. Protect your investment!

How to Measure for your Muskrat/Otter Guard
Be careful as some ports are at an angle and will give you a larger hole reading. To double check your measurement, take a piece of wire and wrap it around completely in the circumference of the exhaust port. Lay your wire out and measure, now divide that measurement by 3.14 to determine the hole size. Or simply give us a hail and we can do the calculations. Guards come in pairs.
By giving us the proper hole size, it allows us to ensure the correct rings & rods needed.
