Down here at Isles of Palms with the Wifey for Labor day. Took out the Deus last night and used both wet beach and dry. Performance was erratic... Probably due to strands of black sand intermittently.

When I would travel from dry sand to wet- I would change settings to Wet ( beach to " Yes") and GB again. Going back to dry would switch to Dry Beach, make sure Beach was "No" and try to GB again. Machine was locked at 90- no amount of pumping would help ( manual) Pumping would not work, GB Index ( actual ground reading) would not change from 90.
Like to get some advice from more experienced members. I do have my AT Pro with me so may take it out instead.

Suggestions????

Try manually running the GB down! Don't worry about pumping it. Just run it down until the machine quiets down.
