What is the consensus of these gear cases? Has anyone had good luck with them???
Yes!
yes. no complaints.
I've installed close to 15 on customer's boats had to return one after a year, customer hit a rock pile exchanged no issues and no hassle from SEI.
Mine developed a small leak after 2 1/2 years, they fixed it, no problem. :thumb up2:
Had one, was great.
Had one on for a little over a year now...no complaints so far.
IF you fish tournaments,the warranty is Voided.
Had mine for 3 years, no problems. Paint seems to chip a lil easier but that's the only thing i have noticed over stock.
chinese junk. go oem. you wont be sorry
I like mine. Tournament fishing voids warranty.
No,you'll just be broke after spending a couple grand more on the oem.Heard nothing but good things about em and i trust fred's comments on them.Quote:

Next one that comes in about a month later is busted up from transit but nothing that cant be fixed so the mechanic tries to mount it to my engine and it is nowhere close to fitting up so back it goes....another month later i get another that leaks around the driveshaft. I fought with them people for an entire summer. Not satisfied at all, and my mechanic wont use them anymore due to my experiances.
you pay for what you get. go ahead and get it. why do you think its so cheap? its cheap made. i know several people that has bought them. they look good out of the box but the chinese are good at making something look good.Quote:

You still get three times the warranty that comes with that "well made" factory unit. On my budget it was an easy choice, my warranty is up and if it goes out tomorrow, I'm still way ahead by ordering another one.Quote:

My 3rd replacement unit is supposed to ship out tomorrow and I am about 3 months into my warranty period. The first made it 2.5 hours, the second 10.3, and I will see how long the third is going to last. The customer service has been very good and I can't complain about that at all. The have turned the unit around in about a week both times. both have had pinion bearing failures, I am hoping that this one last because I am tired of breaking in lower units.
