Sea Hunter not stable question After 20 years, just moved up to a Sea Hunter PI. I have tried to hunt is Standard mode, discrimination set at 3, faint threshold, but at the end of each swing I get a loud "ramp up" tone to the point it is annoying. In Elimination mode it is nice and smooth. Is this normal for the SH? I have about 40 hours on the SH and have been hunting in the Elimination mode due to the noise in standard. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey GH, how's it going and thanks for the feedback.

I am running the 10 X 14 coil that is brand new. That was the first thing I did was check the epoxy seams. This is not a threshold rise from a wave, but a loud ramp up signal at the end of my swing, normally to the left side. I have thrown my scoop over my shoulder, and that didn't do it. If I switch to the Disc. Elimination mode, everything works perfect, nice and stable. I have seen other posts and they don't seem to have a squealing problem like you said with yours. I might have to give Garrett a call on this one as I cannot seem to get it to run stable in the Standard mode. There is no way I could hear a deep target with this ramping up tone.

Thanks for your input.

How does the bottom of the coil look? Are you just running it stock with the 8" mono? If so, there is a possibility of excessive wear to the coils lower surface. When this occurs the unit will become unstable, when the outer plastic housing separates from the OEM epoxy. The coil MUST be coated AND maintained with Loctite Marine Epoxy, bed liner or both. I like to use the epoxy 1st and then coat with bedliner. A couple of coats of each is recommended.

When I ran mine I only used the Standard Trash Elimination and 0 Discrimination and a barely audible threshold. You will get your best performance in that setting. HOWEVER, the unit does have a Threshold rise, when a wave passes by the coil. I would simply wait till the wave passed and continue the swing. Of all the issues I had with the Mark II. Only the coil issue and headphone failure(due to hyperextension of the cabling when knocked off my head by a wave), were the only issues I had with the units. I owned 3 and used them exclusively '04-'05. Hope this addresses your inquirey.
