Yeah it can fail at any moment but so can a brand new one based on the hundreds of new skis with the same issue
I located a few brand new units but at almost $1900 after shipping, I’m holding off on buying brand new.
I was able to find a newer take off (new part #) on a wrecked machine for $750 so that one is on the way. Once they come off backorder and prices come down I’ll place an order for a new one and have it on hand.
