Fl-18 Repair

[Skeets]

Anyone take their FL-18 back to Vexilar for the repair fix they have on the AZ mode?
I have not really been having much of a problem with mine, so I will wait for soft water to take it in.
Just wondering if it makes a difference or not.

I took mine in on Tuesday but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Going up to the Big Pond for the weekend so I'll have a chance to run it all weekend.

I'm waiting for soft water as well. Too many fish to catch and jigging techniques to learn. Hope someone else can report on the success of the fix.

Well, I had my unit updated last Tuesday and took in up to Mille Lacs this weekend. The results? 10 times worse I hate to say! 90% of the time the unit would not read the bottom correctly on the AZ side. Just like the others it would show the bottom any where's for 1ft to 3ft up from where it should. I'll have to say I really like the FL-18 but just like most other electronic devices or software devices the bugs need to be worked out. I was a really disapointed!
From the moment I turned the unit on it was not working like it should.

Sure glad you posted right away. I was going to send my unit back this coming week for updating. Guess I will wait to hear what Vextech has to say about it now. Some days mine works great and then others bad. And at the same location.

I have emailed Vexilar. I hope they can get this problem resolved. When the unit works it's great!

Just got back from LOW this weekend. The fishing sucked, and so did my FL-18. The vex worked fine on the AZ mode w/ Low Power, but when you put it up to normal power it made the bottom jump all around, for no reason at all. It would always seem to do it when a fish was looking at my lure. I hope Vexilar gets this thing fixed, otherwise, I'm gonna have to find something new next year.

GOOD LUCK,
Rusty
