Have you either repaired your self or sent out for repair and what would your recommendation be? Mine stopped moving and I’m trying to decide what to do. Thanks for the help!

Did you fix it?I talked to them about a year ago. Mine stopped as well. They said it was $100 to fix.
No, I have not sent it in yet. I was hoping for like $50 to fix it LOLDid you fix it?
Yeah I was gonna check it out, thanks for the encouragement.Take it apart and see what’s what. Been a long time since I had one, but I don’t recall it being very complicated. Maybe the motor went and you can source a drop in replacement.
I’m hoping it’s just gummed you. Still 4 years without even being cleaned is pretty darn good.i’ve had a few go bad over the years. I always send them back to sea swirl for repairs or replacement.
Sea swirl is a great company and they (i think it’s only one guy) stand behind their products.
food for thought, I had a 3/4 swirl last for over 10 years before going bad.
That’s what I’m trying to decide, try to fix it myself or send it in.I would for sure open it up. Nothing against seaswirl, I like them, they were the way to get nonlaminar flow back in the day, but still I bet its a small motor, some plastic gearing and some other bits. I bit most of the plastic components could be printed, I'm sure theres a cheap equivalent on ebay/ali for the motor assembly. If you decided thats too much work then send it into them, its not like its working currently.

I had the sea swirl guy do both of mine it was worth it to me
he rebuilds everything inside at least that’s what he told me
People and money usage is always funny to me wont spend 100 dollars to get a 500 dollar product rebuilt to new and fixed right instead rather spend 50 dollars on a part not made for the sea swirl then your adapting it to the new motor and end up spending four hours on it it will never work the same just to save 50 dollars
Just boggles my mind
The last one I fixed had RC servo in it as a motor. Bought a replacement at ServoCity.
When you open it up you should see the brand and model number.What servo did you buy?
