I have to chime in here, I was a bit offended by a post that states the only people here that complain about this machine are those that don't know how to run it or don't own one. Well.....here is my two cents. My machine has a bad screen and the battery seal leaked while wading in four feet of water.
What do I not know how to do? I keep my battery seal laboratory clean and finally replaced it with Frogman's which is a five dollar repair-shouldn't have had to do it, as for the screen problem. Did I make a mistake by not turning it on correctly??? I will be sending it for repairs at the end of the season. I believe we all have the right to voice our opinions here, after all most us purchased them new when they first came out and have not been entirely happy due to common problems.
I will close by stating I am happy with the depth and the faster recovery while in disc mode than other Minelabs I own and have used. The machine being worth 2,500.00 dollars??? I hope the new ones are better.
