I don't own, or sell these, and I don't know anybody that has one.
I did not know that there is such a problem with all centrifugal
clutches, but if there is a problem that you know of, would it not
be prudent to carry a spare or two? Kind of save you some time
for crusing bar to bar, right?



Not an easy or fun change. I didn't see the space to carry around the gear
puller it takes to get one off the shaft and keyway, either. I've tore up
plenty in my "younger years"...(c;

This scooter is useless on most boats, anyway, as there's no place to STORE
it and if you left it on deck it would either end up a pile of solid rust
from the seawater spray or, due to its mass thrashing around, destroy the
boat and rigging on its way over the side, probably taking the handrails
with it.

Not many on the boat newsgroup have a 160' motoryacht with toy storage
garage in the stern....
