Interesting. Torn between a Legend and an 800 and the leak issue is leaning me toward the Nokta.
That was a creative way of finding the leakage spot. I believe Minelab knows where the problem is... 😟
hope minelab sees this video and learn to fix the issue. bet you they be using this technique to fix there issues. gj gig
Looks like a detector that cost almost a thousand dollars could make a detector that doesn't leak and a coil that doesn't break!!
That's very interesting.
Sounds like a Job for Flex Seal ! :) Great video Gig
Thanks a lot!!!
Wow that is a crazy spot to leak from.. Thanks for sharing.. cool experiment
Happy Halloween Steve

That's an odd place to have a leak! Let us know how you resolve this issue, Gig!❤️
If you can do this test, why can't mine lab? And make the change during the manufacturing process?
Great informative test and very clever! Tough spot to seal up because you dont want to block your charger cord to connect to the port... maybe a thin 2 part epoxy or superglue baking soda? or maybe superglue alone.? Maybe hold a vaccum nozzle on the battery port and apply some kind of glue to the crack so the glue gets sucked in
Right hand corner of charging port too Steve. Single bubbles. You’ll see it.
Your right ! I saw the little bubbles in the bottom, right hand corner. Good eyes !
I just sent mine back to be replaced for flooded. At least its under warranty
Nice test, but you should give it more time. It also had a slow leak at the base of the coil wire connection.
You might want to remove the silicone (from the top of the coil wire connection, and any other place) and remove the temporary covering from the speaker.
Well done Steve…I thought it was going to be the battery port!
Thank you for your sacrifice sir, I just bought 2 800s for me and my son and I seen the other you sealed your machine video and I totally crossed my fingers for you I was hoping you got it and it seemed you covered all bases . . I’m paranoid but I think knowledge is everything so thank you very much for your video I’m going to seal my machines I don’t plan on super submerging them but I want to play in the river. I’ve only found one other person sealing their machine and I was wondering how common is it for them to leak because I’ve seen a lot of videos where the guy is announcing he just got his machine back because of a leak . Hopefully because I am a new proud owner it’s not that common haha but I didn’t wanna stuff my ctx 3030 in the river so this will be the alternative . Are you going to get that one repaired ? I was wondering if you knew how much that was out of warranty? Anyways take care and thanks
I think it is around $400 out of warranty.
Mad scientist Gigmaster figures it out! Not going to trade up from my Vanquish 540 til Equinox fixes that issue. Thanks for the demo! Love that detective work.
Nice test, Gig. Looks like a great way to test your ‘Nox or to diagnose a potential leak location. Dry ice is not always easy to get, but it sure works great as shown in your video. I hope the warranty comes through for you. Now, lets move on to some of that yummy barbecued pulled pork from a while back. Keep Digging!
I love how you share your how to's and work through's. Thanks Gigmaster
Awesome Awesome video…! Very disappointing seeing where that leak is. That is no fault of your own, and although they have taken care of you in the past, …….come on Minelab..! I’m sure I’m not the only one who bought an 800 with all 3 coils because of you…..!!
EDIT…Equinox flooded 5 minutes ago….knee deep water, unit suddenly had a dime size water drop behind the screen, went into a FP….and then ER 61, and now won’t turn on. 3 hours from home, 3 rings found yesterday…..😭😭😭😭😭
Great job! Thank you!!
NIce test there Gigmaster. Have seen lots of videos showing that the Equinox can leak, that's why I bought the Excalibur 2 so I didnt have to get my Nox wet. The Excal takes a lot of getting used to after using the Nox for nearly 3 years. Happy hunting
I have and love both detectors...i just like having number Ids to look at rather than relying on tone...i wish there was some way to waterproof the nox with a waterproof enclosure
I have both detectors for this reason also. If I'm going in control head deep... It's EXCALIBUR TIME!
Strange I wouldn't expect a leak there.
Excellent job Gigmaster. You would be an excellent science teacher.
Thanks Gigmaster for the video.
Great investigative work Steve!
Well...i had cracks around my 4 handle screws. When i´ve seen bubbles coming from overthere, i`ve soon realized...Think is the force you apply to the handle, expecially inside the water or, worst, with 15¨ coil inside the water. Always gently sweep in the water or when surfing...avoiding "double speed" on the target. Try to pass some silicon grease on that parts, usb slot, cable connector and so on. There is nothing you can do with some other kind of leaking, related to gore vent or 0-rings problems. If you want to seal it 100%, make the Sea Ghost modification.
I want some dry ice!!!!!
Did Minelab ever fix the leaking problem with the Nox800
Great test
Good information to know!
Great job 😁
Great video. I know u can stop that leak. Show that too when it’s out of warranty.
You must have been a science teacher? Love your videos! They are very informative!
Bacana o vídeo 👏👏
Show 👍
Tamos juntos 🤝
Wow
Good video and hopefully Minelab will take notice!!!! How bout it Minelab???
great test...hopefully they act on it
Great video I hope the people at mine lab is watching🤔
Great experiment 👍. Now how is a guy gonna seal that without messing up the charge port? Great video I was surprised when the one you sealed up leaked, but now that makes sense. Hope minelab can fix this issue, it is costing everyone money.
Very informative.. Where did you get the idea to use dry ice? I can remember 30 years ago they would send blocks of it to keep grocery loads cold.
I am familiar with the physics of dry ice so it was an easy experiment.
It seems like more of the newer batches are leaking. Mine is from one of the very first batches and cross my fingers I have not had a leak yet. I have had it in saltwater and freshwater.
Mine as well.
Good detection, but poor craftsmanship, sketchy reliability, and overseas customer support. You'd figure that when you buy a $800 detector, you wouldn't have to expect it to break so easily.
nice there is easy fix for the leakage that minlab can do
Awesome video. Mine has water behind the lens. I’ll seal mine out as soon as I get it dried out. What’s the best way to completely dry it out?
If it is under warranty just send it back
I was thinking to get the air exchanging by using a fish tank aquarium pump.. place the hose inside the battery compartment for a few days..
? Checking your video .. how old is your equinox...? As the surround to charge port is a diffrerent color plastic to the housing !? ... my nox 800 its all the same black colour...
That machine was bought over 3 years ago.
careful bouncing that dry ice like that get some in your eye and your going to the doctor...great video as always
May be a stupid question, but does anyone use some kind of cover for the charging port?
I do into the surf and want to protect that area. The port is exposed to the elements.
Thanks!
May be a good idea?
Zero dislikes because it’s very interesting .. lol .. Are you going to buy another one and if so why?
I have bought 2 more this month!
@@Gigmaster it must be really good lol
Thanks for the video. This not good news in my opinion.
Gigmaster, I'm sharing your videos on this subject on one of the forums, is that ok?
Sure!
@@Gigmaster hello my friend how you repair it ??? Thanks
This is the last time im gonna tell you this. Fisher 1280x aquanaut will be a better machine. I tell you this each time, you dont listen, and then you pay, over and over and over and over. Gig, listen, pick up one used on ebay. So many parts are field repairable and mine has never leaked in over 20 years.
Maybe Fisher will send me one!
