Hey guys,

Recently a Etrac user but due to a shoulder injury the doc ordered me to get a lighter machine.
this year with the etrac found a total 40ish silver sinc feb and endless wheats. i am from north west indiana and cant wait to wrangle this machine. I have acess to Lake michigan and looking to do a bit of water hunting.

I be picking everyones brain here.

I am getting a 2hr lesson on the xp when i get it sunday from the previous owner.

I read the manual 2 times and getting andys book with the machine aswell.

1) what stumped you when u first got ur machine?
2) havent even started looking for programs or pdfs any place u suggest
3) cases for the xp waterproof cases?
4) buy a water antenna or use coax? also the deepest i would be is off shore 2 feet water if that
5) any first time user pointers

thanks guys in advanced

Welcome to the board! I recommend some of Henrik's videos and a few others on YouTube...

The following vid is worth its weight in gold if you're starting out and trying to figure out ground balancing:

Also, coming from an Etrac you may find that Full tones is easier to get accustomed to rather than 3, 4, or 5 tone audio but the cool thing is - if you don't like what you hear you can program the Deus from one end to the other and change it to your liking!!! Basic factory programs work extremely well out of the box, like Basic 1, Basic 2 (more sensitive), and Deus Fast (iron-trash areas)

Expect the silver to continue to pour in...you won't be disappointed
