Okay so the reason behind wrapping your coil cord is obvious and in all cases you will to some extent. I read recently that a cord that is not wrapped tight enough can rattle around and give false readings. The author suggested taping the cord straight up the shaft for about 1/2 to 3/4 of it's length and then wrapping the remainder. Now this is on an ACE 250(in my case), and my results are this: Wrapped like all the others I got a lot of bouncing signals on the display and my depth was nearly useless. With it taped straight up the shaft and wrapped the excess in the last 8"-10" before the head unit everything changed? Not only do I have more accurate depth, but my signals are more steady, and best of all Pinpoint is now a snap! All this in the same place, same detected objects, etc.
Should it really make this big of a difference? I tried to keep any variables out to truly see if there was a difference in what I was changing. Anyone else have experience in this?
