ex cal 800

[fedder]

I have not used my ex cal 800 in water in the ocean in about 5 years. I'm headed to the Jersey shore and was wondering if anyone could tell me how to set it up? Any help would be most appreciated

Yep I have to agree with the above except make sure to clean skid plate out
after use clean all sand out, it somtimes will cause machine to false a bit or cry while swinging
other than that have fun
good luck

I dont know about setting the sensitivity as high as you can.
I think it runs better at about 12 O'clock.

Run in all metal (pinpoint). Check targets in discrim. Sensitivity at 12 o`clock. Volume just under maximum. Discrim set at 1. Threshold at just null or barely audible (your preference). Get rid of coil cover. Slow sweep speed. One man`s opinion. Good luck !!! Scotto

If you have a battery conditioner or a friend who has one, take the time to fully condition the battery. If it's a NiCad it might not run very long unless it's conditioned first. You might even conclude, wrongly, that it's met its life-cycle and purchase new. Jim
