Supercharger failure

[everythingbutthe]

I bought a new 2007 RXP S.C. 215 late last summer, and had the dealer perform the initial service at exactly 10 hrs. They winterized/dewinterized at 16 hrs. I now have 23 hours and out riding on 7/25/09 the supercharger blew. I drove straight to the dealer, and they say damage may have been caused from the supercharger spooling up while the boat was in mid air. Luckily, it's covered under warranty. I'm pretty anal about how I ride, as I spent every penny I had and much more for the RXP. The only time it could have happened Is from what I believe is "normal" riding as the boat skips across the chop. I hope the dealer will make it right, as I honestly thought after reading some other members sketchy stories about S.C. failure I would never be posting a thread. I know you roll the dice with some beefy aftermarket mods, but this should not be an issue with a stock boat.

No it's not roll the dice with a Super Charger, it happens. I have a friends 2008 Speedster 150 supercharged that had it 10 hour service done at 60 hours. He used it 1 more time and the super charger went south...under warranty by 1 week. When it was serviced it had 19 hours on it. He doesn't abuse his jet boat either...but it happened.
