I remember the early B-max drives having porosity problems too, I am sure these housings are probably cast in Mexico or something . These things happen, Smitty

SCX problems
Talked to Dave at IMCO. He said castings are sand casted which then any voids or defects are welded at finish. Sounds like i had a finish weld that didn't take. Told him to send me a crate, it's coming back. Also told him to look at the shifting problems. I'll keep you posted.

Respectfully disagree. Call Wilson...spend a few bucks...get it fixed..and get more speed. IMCO will do nothing and provide you with no advise as to how to improve Hydrodynamic drag of the anvil lower that is the SCX...we had one of the first sets off the shelf and could not be happier with the end result.

TRL505, Thanks for the nice comments.
We have all our info background on our website: www.wilsoncustommarine.com We do a lot of work to your lowers, its not just a case of sharpening and shining. We spend a lot of time " trueing" your lowers and makig sure they are straight and then we go to town on making them hydrodynamic! The results do vary, but the difference on every boat we have ever done is considerable. Call me at anytime and we can go over all the info for you. Like TRL505 said, we have worked on lowers for about every fast cat and V bottom there is out there. B/R Craig D. Wilson |

Crap! I was just reading yesterday about someone having a shifting problem with the SCX and it turned out to be an internal rubber spacer? They cut it in half on advice from Imco and problem solved? I wish I could have more details and can't seem to find the thread but I'll keep looking for it.
Hey Mr Gadgets, I hear your the man to talk to on a great deal for the SCX's? What's the best way to contact you regarding a possible purchase of 2 uppers and bells? |
I finally got mine on the water a few weeks back. It shifts cleanly and no leaks. I was only able to get 7hrs on the clock and no WOT. So far I am happy with the SCX!! :)

There seems to be a lot of controversy over how this drive is to be filled. It's my understanding is it's to be filled to the vent hole only and the reservoir is strickly for expansion.
It's not to be filled like a Bravo where you pump it up past the vent hole and try to maintain oil in the reservoir. I had problems with mine losing oil also and discovered it was coming out past the front pinion seal. Dave @ Imco told me to follow the instructions and fill it to the vent hole and leave it alone. Since doing that, I have had no problems. Anybody else have comments on how they are filling their's, I would appreciate your input. |
