Still can’t take full throttle in reverse, but that’s 50% better than it was. Also using better steel for the core of the reverse frictions, the new ones don’t explode as easily.

Every little bit helps. You taught me a very valuable lesson on the coolers that I will not forget. I would have bet the farm that you were full of crap Live and learn, huh. Talk to you soon, Eddie.

When you are trying to clean out the parts, you are cool, so the copper doesn't expand. When you put it back into the boat, it gets warm, and presto, the 1 little chunk you missed ends up getting circulated.

I always thought an interesting experiment would be to clean it normally, and then drop it into a giant pot of boiling water and somehow flush it to see if anything extra comes out.
