Excal WOT Question

[Goldrings]

I bought Coiltek's New 15 inch All Terrain coil for my excal. This coil comes with a connector kit with the female end of the connector kit installed from coiltek.
My question is what color wires did they solder to what pinns on the connector they installed? They sent me some documentation but it does'nt show a wiring
diagram.I am pretty upset with Coiltek for selling a coil specifically for the Excal with a connector kit.(witch costs more money) and not giving me some idea
of what they have done from there factory.I emailed them and they sent a pdf file with the documentation but it still has no wiring diagram. emailed them back
and no response! Anybody know what pinns they solder what color wires to? Don't want to have to cut apart what they have installed allready.

That might help but just wounder if when Davspen wrote up that chart they were still using the same wire? and if when he shows the pinn oriantation for the wire colors they (coiltek) were using the same connector they use now. Just might be over thinking it but this is a new coil design.

you may be right
sent you a pm

Contact Ole Beach Nut on here he should have that info........ hes our Mr nei... science guy lol.

Thanks for everybody's help! Ended up yesterday cutting off the female end that Coiltek installed and seeing what wires I had to work with.Then cut the wires from my old coil and then realized how bad the wires were from my coil. Came to the realization that I had to go all the way to the board with the new coil.Got it done and went to the beach today it works great found 48 cents and a small silver charm. Not bad for a well hunted beach and two hours time.And when I say small charm I mean small about the size of a pencil eraser around and thinner than a dime. Kept falling out of my scoop back into the sand. LOL
Thanks again HH

If you contact Ralph at Sun Ray I think he can help you..Sun Ray sells the Male and Female connector end kits and the best I've seen out there.He may also have the wiring color code for several other coils that fit the Sovereigns that you can wire up for the Excalibur..I may have them somewhere at home,,if Ralph doesn't have the wiring diagrams get back to me and I'll see if I can dig them up..Also the older Excalibur's are different than the newer ones....
John.....lovee-1.

Chart for the wiring....


Working on these for the Excalibur, will be fall before we know, they need a full summer of testing...I have tried several types and some work, but they must be checked at least once every few weeks if you hunt a lot. You will know when the leak in saltwater, the detector will start acting stupid....saltwater shorts the connection out if it gets in anyway. Not to the point it blows up but the detector will be falsing a lot.

Good job Goldenrings on the Hardwire, we need more to just do it...

Thanks OBN
Yeah tried to do a inline splice first, Solder them all up with heat shrink tubing then taped them up just to see how the coil would work. That did'nt work to well to much impedance the heat shrink tubing is'nt enough shielding the coil was screaming all kinds of sounds! LOL So had to go to the board. BTW the grey Ghost are working great and thanks for all the great video's on how to do this kind of coil change for the Excalibur.
Hey have you ever had any issues with impedance on any of the water proof connectors you are trying to do? Some of those pinns are so close in the connectors that you would think it would mess with the signal.

Just as long as they don't get wet your good, saltwater gets in the machine will go crazy, fresh water seems to be ok if you get a little leak. If you look at the connections on the board they are fairly close also....
