Nor is there a price for replacement coils yet. But threads like this may change both items. I was just asking because of the above post Steve......

I missed that, and it is news for sure. Was FT going to let the rest of us know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Mystery solved. The customer in question asked for 2 coil covers as part of his order. Since they had a couple of prototype covers available - they were shipped. Production coil covers are not yet available. My apologies for not clearing this up sooner!! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimpickuns Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I'm a sand scrubber myself so I like using a coil cover even If it does add a little weight...Here's what I use to keep sand/water from penetrating under the coil cover, just run a small bead of this stuff along the open edges and let it cure... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okara gold Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I've used marine epoxy on coils with great success. My only question is... Does using marine epoxy void the warranty? Unless I heard it directly from FT or Rick, I would not use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done that also and it works. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewcon4414 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I was going thru a couple of coils with the Xcal...... and other machines for beach use a year. I wear the heck out of a coil cover. I use LocTite Marine Epoxy....its white so i can tell where the wear is and like was said..... i can put more on as needed. You can spread it on once mixed with your finger and it dont run all over the place. Its like 3700 psi strong. I dont believe anyone would find this a reason not to buy on a resale. The non-tranferrable warranty would be more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LE.JAG Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 a disc guard is useless on impulsethe resin is very strongand as a general rule, disc protectors should be avoidedon a beach finderor stick them and make them waterproofsalt and sand passing between the coil and protecting itscreen and make you lose performance ... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger-NH Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'll definitely be wanting a coil cover. There is no resin on earth that will hold up to the rocky beaches I hunt. I hope when they design it that they make it easy to remove for cleaning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
