vexilar fl-20 need gain to max

[Sgt. Schlitz]

Brought out the vex for the second time this winter and need the gain turned to the max to pick up the bottom in 24 ft of water. Tried a different battery and same thing. Any suggestions appreciated.

Bad ducer is my guess...

[Sgt. Schlitz]

So quick check would be to swap ducer and if the problem goes away I have my answer?

[highlife4me]

yup.

[Sgt. Schlitz]

Since I probably need a new ducer any recommendations? Single dual or tri?

[Esox_Magnum]

Check to see if you hear the ducer clicking, if no clicking chances are it's bad.... Also check all connections and wires to eliminate a weak connection or bad cable.. As far as replacement choices you have either single or Tri beam to choose from....

[Sgt. Schlitz]

It does click but I will swap in 15 min and check for sure. Thanks for the help

Tested a different ducer and problem solved.

If the ducer is bad then I would get a hold of vexilar and have it replaced. I sent mine in to them two or three weeks ago and had it back in three days free of charge and no questions asked.

I have the FL22 with the tri-beam. Fantastic customer service and very nice people there.
