Yes. Like they say, you don't really get to know your boat until you there is a problem.

Specific Problem: A circulating solution of salt-away in water loosened the plug so that it could be blown out with hose water pressure.
Prevention: Flush valves to insure a good flush through the engine on hose.

An update: It's not sand. But the quick answer is "No". What I've found is that is the past 4 times I've tried to go out more of the crap flushes out and plugs the thermostat. Pull the thermostats and clean, flush, then ok. But next time going out a week or so later more crap plugs the thermo again. Flush & clean, repeat cycle. It will eventually all come out. If you read the Salt-Away lit that's how it works.

Do we have an update to this by chance? Finally inspected my anodes and they were shot. I was trying to think of a way to just flush or descale the area around the water jackets. Has anyone done this?
