    Yeah... the ZD uses a Sprag Clutch in the Pulley which can be problematic.
    Some people stick with a Clutch, some change out for a solid pulley
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Yeah, i decided to stick with the clutch after looking around a bit, reading and asking a few opinions.
    The original lasted 185k kms, Id be happy to get the same out of the replacement.

    When I replaced mine I went with a 110 amp with solid pulley, no problems after 18 months.
