when I Hook

no spare

going to have to send it in.

I Actually Have all the parts to Repair it,
But don't trust taking the guts out the housing
without ripping a wire Loose.
& I'm Garbage at soldering.

i hope they fix it soon so we can get back out...

I sent in a Minelab Excal for a cracked coil, it took 8 working days for them to repair it, so the repair time isn't bad at the moment.

Good luck Jeff, if we lived closer, I would loan you one of mine, I have 2, although the water proof one is also currently down for repairs. I am having to replace the WOT coil on it, I cracked it when it fell over after leaning it on my van coil up. I didn't realize it was cracked till it started giving me a problem in the surf. I found a used WOT for $80 and having it shipped to me.

Good luck........

Yea I Think My Impatience of
having to wait Till Monday to
Call them is the worse Part

should be a quick inexpensive fix though.
