XP MI 6 probe

Had to remove the thin o ring sat in the threads, end cap really hard to remove to gain access to charging port, this time I could feel the body flexing. No idea what it was doing to the internals so when I finally got the cap off, o ring had to go.
Have I got a bad one or have others found the same.

It is not the best configuration there is
The pinpointer works great but the end cap must have been made with a warped die or something. Mine never sat flush once screwed down and always looked as if it was cross threaded

Lube the oring with vasoline then it is still be water tight and will remove much easier

Use ONLY 'O' ring grease [available at any dive shop] or silicone dielectric grease.

Any other will cause the O ring to deteriorate

I had the same problem (cap not closing evenly over the pinpointer body) with my XP MI-4, but got the cap to close properly by applying a light coating of olive oil over the O ring. After I did this, it closed tightly. I opened and closed the cap one more time, and this time, it closed very securely.
