Broken Marcum VX-1

[oddy19]

Hey Guys,

I bought a Marcum from a guy in Minnesota during the off season, and had it out for the first time last night. He said it was less than a year old, and it looked to be in great condition. I went to set it up, and the connection to the battery broke. This guy must have jimmy rigged it a little bit, so I wouldn’t notice the connection was clearly busted. Anyway, is there anything I can do for this? Thanks for your help!

IF its the battery thats broke, just buy a new battery?

If it's the connector on the wire, it's an easy fix. Get some wiring plyers and crimp a new one on. You can find the connectors at any hardware store.

It isn't the battery it is one of the connectors that attach to the battery.

like said above, you should be able to strip the wire and crimp a new one on.

Should be an easy fix

You don't even need crimping pliers.....most any pliers would work. Not that big of a deal.

Thanks guys...I knew I would get the information here. See you on the ice!

Sell it to somebody else and buy an LX5. ; )

I'd love to have the LX-5 but my VX-1 worked pretty good for me last year. I added a used LX-3 this year but haven't gotten it out yet.
