hello,
I appreciate any comments from your experience with the Meg. I know the unit is mechanically well made. What are the long term experiences and tiny things after 2 years?
thank you in advance

Well after nearly 300hrs on my meg I have had no issues to speak of. I did have to thumb one dive due to slight leakage of the oxygen injection elbow. It was easy to retighten once I found a place in Mexico that had the right size socket and I figured out how to say 13mm in Spanish.

I had the same problem when my unit was new. The elbow leaked right at the elbow to head mating surface. Tightened it, no more problems.

I have only 45 hours, but I think it´s a rock solid unit.

cheers,
