Marcum 560

[Ryan Berger]

Well I was able to order a marcum 560 and it arrived yesterday. I noticed last night that the camera was having trouble going all the way back and forth, well it did today when I was fishing,, it only rotated about 1/8-1/4 of the way around at most and the lights didnt come on one time. I am pretty frustrated having just shelled out over $600 and having it not work right out of the box. has anybody else had troubles like this?

I have had trouble with two different units.

The first one, the camera leaked.

The second one, the power button failed. It would not turn off.

There was no third try since there were no more in sotck.

Maybe that was a good thing?

My 560 has been working as advertised. Does any of the other features turn on; depth, temp, direction arrow, battery condition? And, I take it you charged the battery. Does it go through the start up procedure ok? Do the lights flash during the start up procedure?

I bought my 560 in November, and I've been very happy with it. Never have had a problem...well one minor problem.

Mine has a very small white dot on the screen...but many times you don't even notice that it's there.

[Ryan Berger]

No it dosent go through the startup ok, part of the startup is the camera rotating all the way around, and it wont even move at all sometimes. The depth and temperature systems seem to be fine, I am going to try and call Marcum today,, hopefully someone is around on the weekend.. I love all the things that it is suppose to do,, just wishing it would work properly

[Dave]

Yes, call Marcum and if nobody is in on the weekend, leave a message. And, let us know what the problem was.
