Never had a problem with the Attman on my 160. Runs smooth as silk. Never cavitated or failed to restart. Besides for the price, easily replaced if there was a problem.

160 uses the atman 1100 if i remember correctly. Issue resides in the atman 2500 pumps. but like you said, they are cheap so its not a big deal.

The SWC 150 & 160 Cones use the Atman 2500. The SWC 120 Cone uses the Atman 1100. The SWC 180 Cone uses the Sicce 2500.

That's good to hear Doug since it is now in my FOWLR . I really love how quite it is & was real easy to dial in.

I just ordered the SWC 180 Cone. I have a Red Devil wheel coming from The Reef Shoppe too. If it works as well as the SWC 120 Cone I will be a happy customer! =]
