Late 08' -> 09'

My 08' has the Ceramic washers, and my co-worker also with an 08' has the stainless steel washers. Both boats were purchased from the same dealership.

May '08?

The boat I'm looking at was built in May, '08 (from the HIN). Does that mean it probably has the ceramic washers? It has 47 hours on it, so if they are the steel washers, can I reasonably expect to wait until I hit 100 hours to do a SC service?

Thanks.

Supercharger slipping

I have a '03 GTX SC with a slipping SC. Is there a remedy out there that I can do without upgrading to the '08 style shaft and clutch assembly?

Yes, you can install the Riva washers or the R&D washers. I prefer the R&D ones. You may have to take your engine apart now to clean out the ceramic washer pieces and to repair/rebuild the oil pumps.

I did not think that the '03 had the ceramic washers. Didn't those start in '04? From what I have been told, the '03 had no washers at all.
