Hi Bobby see following:

JimB:
The brakes can be fixed by disassembling, cleaning ramps & rollers and scuffing the glaze off the surface of the disks.

Another trick is to reseal the brake drums to the gearcase with some silicone to keep the water out on the right side and the oil out on the left side if you have aux hydraulic valves.

If you have remote valves the left side is probably oil soaked. I helped my friend redo his 444 brakes last year, worked out well. I will be doing mine this year. They are still not as good as wet brakes , but work pretty well.
