Just thought I would post to clarify the differences between the 2 scooters or similarities really.
these 2 scooter share alot in common, from motors,relay boards, and blades, yoke screws, adjustments knobs etc can be swapped between. the reed switches are different. as the material the body is made out of and the handle. The handle is a preference thing. I like both. also the clutches are different, but both can be slipped. Read the following link about them. http://www.silent-submersion.com/faq/Index.html There isnt any special parts that go on the ss. The battery tray is totally different then a gavin motor connectors are different. They are not interchangeable between brands. but both a modular. I guess my point is the spares kit you would have for either scooter could and would get either brand going again. The biggest point is what your team dives. Both are great scooters, for the ease of swapping bodies between team mates and standardizing the team its a good idea to have the same one as everyone else on your team. |

on a side note about maintenace or repair. having one brand scooter really makes things easy. you get to know the ins and outs of that specific brand.
Things like the clutch will setup differently between the 2 brands, trigger cables, etc. You would have to learn both, where having the same brand scooter for the team means there is less to learn or remember and the more efficient you get with it. as I am sure Steve and kevin will atest to it makes things so much easier and I am sure they can do most repairs and maintenance on the gavin with there eyes closed. |

Just to add a little to Steve's experience.. as I've watched him do it.. He's had experience working with and fixing many different brands of scooters, so it's not just the Gavin that he's worked with.

My scooter arrived last week! I've taken a few photos of it.
It looks good except for one thing - The gap between the body and the tail cone is quite large in a few places (the tube is not round). It looks like the o-ring might extrude... I don't have a photo of this yet, I'll post one next week. To those with Gavins, is this usual? |

Looks good Jase! Can`t wait to do some scooter dives with you this summer
As I mentioned to you the other day, I haven`t really examined my tube that closely for roundness.... Did you get that charger from George |

Yeah, the charger is from George. He said it is "good".
I'm going to order batteries this week. |
