Another happy customer of vexilar/motor clinic

Recommended Posts

I went into Vexilar/motorclinic this morning. I set my fl22 on the counter and service person says "Don't even tell me whats wrong, I already know."

He tested my tri-beam transducer (bad) gave me a choice of new tri-beam or the new ProView transducer. I chose the ProView transducer.

I was out the door in 5 minutes with a new transducer installed and a towel at no charge.

This is the third time in 13 years I have brought a vexilar in for some sort of work and yet have to leave there with paying a dime.

Gotta love that kind of service. I have an old FL-8slt and a FL-18 and they have been pretty bulletproof over the years. Nice to know if you need service that you can expect a quick turn around.

You will love the Pro View.Small learning curve but once you get it down, WOW!!!. Hardest part is learning how to use the gain.Got mine the same way,went down to Vexilar with a bad tri-beam on my FL18.Ended up walking out with a FL-22 and the Pro View. Best thing I ever did.

What was happening with the ducer? My buddy has a FL-20 with tri-beam ducer and he says it is goofy sometime. I wonder if his issue is the same.

For the most part, the vexilar would only mark jig/fish on the 9 degree setting. You could mark on 12 and 20 degree setting only if you turned gain on real high; which distorted eerything.

That sounds kind of like what his was doing. His also get real loud once in a while. Is that a transducer issue? His is newer than mine but alot louder and has more junk on his screen than mine. Where did you take it to to get it replaced?

Don't worry, I'm sure your friends unit is fine. These Vex units are bulletproof.

Are you telling me that they just exchange your ducer? I have bought three over the last 12 years at 90$ a piece! I suppose this is in the TC? I think my cord eventually breaks from dumping it in a thousand holes a year eek

They are great with trolling motors as well as Vexi's. I've been there a few times and it's all been my fault for whatever getting fixed since I like to hit rocks and drive over my vexi.

Do you happen to know what time they open? I will be down in that area working next week and have the same issues with my tri beam, when I called they said to mail it in, but since I will be in the area I will bring it to theme.

Yes they stand behind their transducers if they fail. They do not or do I expect them to replace a transducer that I damaged.

I also have bought 2 new transducers from them in the past because a chord was wore out from rubbing.

I just got me a 22 with the tri beam. Waiting for some ice to try it out. There has to be more than a couple of these tri beams out there that work isn't there?? Makes me a little nervous.
