I'm in middle of my slow Kawasaki swap. I also learned about the manual reverse recall on this forum. The below photo I did on my last clutch change out and it worked fine for helping to keep salt water from ending up in the top of the tower. I just installed it again with the upgraded reverse assembly. Easy to do since I have both aluminum coil stock and a brake, about 1-1/4" wide and I just cut it to the right length and install with "the right stuff" as the sealant. If you have to pull your prop just rip it out for your rod stock hold back, or notch it.
