You know what I have to say. I have used a couple and know a few dealers that have with no issues.

Several on BBC have used them. Don't recall seeing any negative feedback. Might do a search over there and ask those guys what their experience has been.

Thanks for the followup, Bobby. Good to know the SEI option seems to be a good one. Hope it runs good for you a LONG time!

 

[wrechin2]

Good deal!!!

OK before the 20 hour mark Ive lost the gears. So far SEI has been great. Shipping it back tomorrow for rebuild or replacement. I have followed break in period to the letter so I dont know what couldve happened. I have to pay return shipping and they pay to send it to me. I will let yall know of any complications and time periods. Im having a rough time with staying on the water! 3rd unit and powerhead too so far this year.

Back on the back seat list again....PM a brother if u need a partner!

 

[wrechin2]

That sucks!!!! At least are handling it well. Keep us updated on how smooth the warranty goes.

 

[bobby_hamrick]

UPS delivered new unit today. They listed failure as a clutch failure?

 

[wrechin2]

That would be a "clutch dog". This could be caused by slow shifting or improper adjustment. It may also be toooo much power for the aftermarket unit or just a lemon unit. JMO... Did they repair yours or simply replace it?

 

[bobby_hamrick]

Units back on and its getting old doing that! They sent another unit out not a rebuild. Once again we are off to the lakes! LG on Friday, Nick on Saturday.....Hopefully without any failures.
