marcum lx-5

[ricqik]

we have 3 lx-5's. all of them exibit the screen shifting syndrome. better way to explain it is. lift ur tranducer up n down n watch the screen move. marcum told us is was the processor, so they replaced it. back out on the ice n it still doing the same thing. has anyone ran into this problem. is it common or is peeps just excepting it as normal. my previous vex never did this. my old zercum did this too.

Mine is doing this a little bit last time I used it. I had a nick in my transducer cords and needed to replace it so I'm anxious to see if a bad cord may have been contributing to the issue. If not I'll send it in after the ice season is over as I'll need it and can deal with it until then.

It might be a timing issue,mine did that last year.Adk marcum to explain to you how to reset your timing its really easy.I havent had that problem since.

[ricqik]

we brought the first one in, they reset the timing. didn't work. so they'll check again n see if they'll replace the motor.. it's disappointing to pay almost half a g to have it hiccup on the first outing..

I just noticed mine starting to do this the past weekend (first year on the ice). I was hoping that the lake bottom was moving up and down but no such luck. Not doing it all the time, but not what I paid for. My Clearwater Classic never did this ever in the 10+ years of service.

[ricqik]

picked up all 3 lx-5 back from marcum. one of them they replaced the brushes for excessive wear(used twice) n reset the timing. the other 2 they replaced the motor n reset timing. so we'll see how it goes the next few outings..

I have 2 LX's and both have been great, ones 4 years old others one of the first 2500 watt units. Hopefully they got you fixed up this time around.

mine does it sometimes almost looks like it resets or goes off then on quick a pita sometimes when it counts

[ricqik]

tried it our today for 5hrs straight, so far so good... keeping fingers crossed.

[bbrad24]

did you guys ever get teh problem figured out with this? mine did it a few times last year and the first time I used it this year, the same thing. gets pretty annoying pretty fast.

[Esox_Magnum]

Timing issue, seemed to be a problem with during the Nature Vision ownership. I'm sure a call to Versa will be helpful. If a timing thing no other way to fix but send it in.

I bought a new LX5 a couple of weeks ago and I hope I don't end up with this problem. It is the new one with a 9 ah battery and a snow shield.

Wait a second. If you lift the transducer up and down isn't everything supposed to shift?

I guess I'm a little confused.

[Walleye Guy]

Dtro-He was saying lift the transducer up and down so you can visualize the problem they are having when their transducer is sitting still in the hole.

[DTro]

OIC. I'm a little slow sometimes.

[bbrad24]

Sent my LX5 in and received it back in less than a week. Tried it out for about 8 hours of fishing in the last couple of days and didn't have any problems! I sent an email asking what the problem was \but they never contacted me back.

Anyone ever have this problem with the hummingbird ice55? I sent the head unit of my ice55 back 3 times and the thing stil does the screen jump but only in wide beam never in narrow. I just thought thats how they are. Anyone have any ideas?

[Ed Carlson]

OK..now I'm curious....How much is the bottom rising and falling when it does this?

An inch, 6"...1'...or several feet up and down?

Does it do it in Zoom Mode, or just on the bottom...or both?

Does it do this on soft or hard bottom conditions, or both?
