I just happened to pick up the new 8” recently. Also came across this:

I heard of a few issues last year about this. After using a buddies and seeing many others with good reviews I decided to pick one up to add to my auger rotation.

Hopefully it gets fixed right. A friend has SM and he has looked at my Eskimo with the welded ring and wondered why SM doesn’t have that because he has had to do a lot of shimming and tweaking on his to keep the blades perfectly aligned. 
 

 

I just ordered the pistol grip bit and will use that with a cordless drill until the ice gets deep and then will use the adapter and put the gas head on it. 
 

that strikemaster looks like a great setup and really fast cutting. Definitely faster than the Eskimo by the look of it.

Came across this as well.... then noticed that it was only for blades manufactured after August 2021 - which made me wonder how they found the issue in the first place?

Yeah I am curious now also. I just bought a new one a couple days ago but obviously there can’t be a lot of customers using them yet. How do they know if an auger manufactured after last years ice season and most likely not used yet before this years season is bad?

 

Here is the reply I got when I registered mine a couple days ago:

Re-call issues by manufacturers are determined by serial #'s which correlates to the date of production. If your #'s don't line up w/ production issues then the one you purchased wouldn't fall into a defective product category.

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
