IMCO SCX Problem
Anybody with the SCX's have this problem? Bought two SCX's and installed. Two problems with one of the drives, first the problem drive shifts a lot harder than the other. This is livable but a pain. Now the real problem. I have had a mystery oil loss with this drive also. I replace o-rings and still have an oil loss. Found it yesterday will my boat was sitting in the garage. Oil is leaking out of the lower case. It's leaking through pin hole pores in the casting. Since the oil is Torco, it was hard to see until the lights in the garage hit it at an angle as i walked past. Tomorrow i'll see what IMCO has to say.

If its a casting issue or a lower unit issue...call Craig Wilson @ Wilson Performance Marine in FLA. We just got our lowers back from him, they blueprinted lowers....tremendous improvement in speed and handling over stock. The guys @ Wilson are top notch...and very professional.

Are you running sc lowers or scx lowers on your scx uppers? If they were new from Imco I would hold them accountable vs calling a third party in Fla. 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

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?
