roadkingclasic56 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I own a Zercom Colorpoint. I don't think they make them any more. I think Zercom may have gone out of business... I like the colorpoint. It works great... I think!?! I don't have anything to compare it to since it's the only flasher I have ever owned. Has anyone owned one before?? and how does it compare to the Vexilar or Marcum? Any difference?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY Tim Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 roadkingclasic56 - If your looking for something similar to what you have in the Colorpoint as far as the thin line display and no zoom. The LX-1 will be the closest thing to your point. I know I had 3 Colorpoints. The LX-3 is a little more expensive but you get all the bells and whistles and the zooms terrific.

Feldy Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 fl- 8 and lx-3 love both but the latter is more crisp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iffwalleyes Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Well I first started using a FL 8SLT then last year I switched to a LX 3 and have been happy ever since. Still got the vex not sure why it just sits in the corner. Maybe I should sell it. I suppose I would regrete it some how better just hang on to both.

roadkingclasic56 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 CNY Tim, Thank you for the input. I have been thinking hard about upgrading. The color point is getting up there in age and I don't think I can get parts for it if it goes down. I have been looking at all of the vexilars, marcums, and the X67. I like the looks of the X67 alot, but I would like to see one in action before I buy. Need to know how it works when the mercury is low on the pole, does it shoot through some ice, etc. Lots of shopping going on.... not much purchasing yet.

trapperdirk Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I think I am convinced of the more bang for your buck feature of the Marcum LX-3 but there are no suppliers in Canada so what's up wit dat .? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottND Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 LX-3Does anyone know if Minnkota/Marcum makes a cable for using the built in transducer on the Autopilot with the LX-3 yet? With all the Marcum owners there must be a demand I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Breuer Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I currently have two FL-18's and an FL-8SE.Does anyone still run a Sitex FL-5?? I ran this as a spare for quite some time and loved it! I don't miss the fish warning alarm though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muchowja Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 fl-18, but if I bought another one it would be the fl-8. I don't find the zoom feature that useful. I don't like shrinking the other half of my display. Besides, I can read a fish on the bottom nearly as well without the zoom on. Otherwise a great tool for fishing.

Fastlane Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Newbie First PostI own a LX-3I was at Fleat Farm in Lakeville last night and they are(like everyone else) in the process of clearing everything out. There are (2) LX-3's there for 369 if anyone is in the market for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hip_hop_fisherman Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 The good old FL-8 been really reliable. Never had a problem with it other than needing a new battery from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceHawk Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I have the FL-18. I fished with the Fl-8 for years and it never let me down so I upgraded to the FL-18 when it came out and boy am I glad I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberamish Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I too have the Zercom Colorpoint and love it. Had a Clearwater Classic and sold that to my bro in law. Both units have been great. I remember reading that the former pres of Zercom just joined the board at Nature Vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
