Hi all,
I'm relatively new, only been at it since April, but am going out very frequently. Recently, my Vanquish 540 started throwing fits after a few minutes of detecting. Without me changing any settings, it will start chattering like crazy, regardless of what the sensitivity is set to. Sometimes it stops on its own. Sometimes it goes away with a restart. Last night it wouldn't go away at all, and I had to pack it in.
I checked the coil and noticed that the cover /skid plate had separated in one spot. I took it off and found a good deal of sand, crud, and water had accumulated between coil and cover. Would that be causing the chatter? I'm cleaning it up regardless, but I'm wondering if I can run a bead of clear silicone around the seam and avoid this problem in future. Would that do any harm?
