I found a little device that works pretty darn good on most dustcap dents as long as they are not caved in too bad.I found it even works better quickly after the occurance......
If you own a boat with an I/O outdrive you probably have a set of muff's and or cups to go over the water intake ports to run your boat out of water.
What you do is take the waterhose end apart and place the cup over the vaccum hose on a well powered wetvac/shopvac.(You may want to run a "flat file" over the end of your vaccum hose to take out chips or divets for tighter seal)I like to make sure the filter in the vaccum is clean so I get as much suction as I can get !!(havent torn a dustcap yet!) Larger dustcaps take a little working at,a little here,a little there and just keep working at it.Most of the time it will come out. You might want to try to moisten it "slightly" to make it a little more pliable if it is creased heavily but I've had good success going dry,If its not coming out you dont have enough power or your filter is dirty..........
Give it a shot , what do you have to lose ??
