Your text should read NOW rather than NOT. The SC drive system was changed nearly a year ago, we will be offering a upgrade system to change the old style drives into the new style (which uses the electric water pump) very soon.

hey brandon, am i correct that only the G4 systems were upgraded? the G3 still use the old mechanical pumps?

I just spoke with Corey about the retrofit kit. He says it will not be an option for my early style SC.
What are my options?
Thanks

what are the advantages of the new design other than a less prone-to-leak water pump?
