The design of the cowling seems a bit wonky, the scrubber is about twice what i need, but I like the radial design, the manufacturer is still a lot further away than a two hour jaunt down I5, In any case though, convincing the mrs's to give another eCCR a try was just out of the question. we need to start looking into spring dates for the next indonesia trip. Ambon was very cool! oh, and your "2 live crew" avatar is in the works

Yo G.E., after your experience, I understand the bit about no more ECCR. But FWIW, I think of the Prism and MKs as sort of inbetween E and M. I have only had to send my head back once when wet O2 corroded out my O2 side and solenoid. Other than that, I can't think of any routine reason why I would ever need to send it back. I suspect that very few MCCRs ever need to go back to the factory either, do to their simplicity. As for the cowling, remember that I had a protoype aftermarket plate which had not been finished yet and had no system for fastening the the cowling to it. The cowling is made out of fiberglass, very rigid and strong. It's survived my falling with the unit and my full weight several times with no breakage.
Ambon was great, but Thailand is similar in price and would be cool too. If you get your tmix ticket, we could do some of the wrecks in the Gulf and maybe some diving in the Andaman Sea too...
Looking ofrward to seeing the pix from the trip, -Andy
