With the changes with MarCum, I would think we wouldn't see any new products this year but, maybe something with the Showdown. I can't believe they would abandon the panning camera concept all together. It just way to good of a concept and think they would have to come back to it at some time. I have my fingers crossed but for now I'm just happy their still around.

MarCum, if you can here me, Please, Please, make a new panning camera with a remote grin

I would give Versa who now markets the MarCum and Showdown another year to get everything going well. They just took the product lines over and I'm sure they are swamped with just getting it all ready in regards to marketing for this season.

I myself am very happy that the MarCum will continue.

Versa recently introduced a new ShowDown V 5.6. This is a updated version of the original, with two main upgrades.

The new ShowDown V 5.6 offers a 1-foot adjustable zoom function, as well as new interference rejection. Will retail for about $280.

The VS825C color viewing system and VS820 feature 8-inch flat panel LCDs, high resolution SONY SuperHAD CCD optics and ingeniously functional soft carrying packs. These units bring near Hi-Def quality and picture sharpness to underwater viewing. The VS380 carries the same great camera features at a new reduced price.

Other than that, I have not caught wind of any other new packages or upgrades to the MarCum flasher line.

Ed is correct, the only "new" Marcum product this year is the updated Showdown with the Zoom and Interference Rejection improvements.

For those of you who already have the Showdown, they will update the software to the new version (I believe there is a fee to have this done, I also think it's worth it for the improvements). You need to send your Showdown and transducer in to have the software updated and make sure the unit and transducer are in-tune with each other.

Otherwise, the Marcum flashers and cameras that were available last year will be available again this year ..... some at lower prices than last year. And they'll all be available before the ice gets here.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
