As I understand the time line of the Compadre.... it was introduced about 2001?
Now I read here and there of the 5.75 inch coil... and the 8 inch coil which are currently offered with the Compadre as separate units due to the inability of the Compadre to change coils.
Somewhere in this forum I read about a person that used a "connector" to switch coils on the Compadre... but I may have misread and now can't locate said post. Has there been a Compadre during this 12 year run that allowed coils to be switched? I think not, but thought I would ask.
I also wonder why Tesoro makes the Compadre in such manner....is it because of the 180ED? What would be the reason to hard wire the coils? I understand the H2o models have had issues with vendors on connector issues and those units have hardwired coils... but the Compadre?
Just trying to get a better picture here. Thanks.
