I am fairly new to this site and am really impressed with the great info put out. Just wondering if anyone knows of any drawbacks to buying a reconditioned Marcum LX-3? Found a good deal on one. Thanks

I just ordered one at the end of last week that should be here in the next day or two. It's a LX-3 with the tc upgrade. I'll let you know. However, this will be my first flasher, so I assume others could probably give you a better comparison.

...maybe I should have posted the same questions before buying, but I couldn't wait any longer. Getting the itch.

I sure wouldn't see a problem. I have bought several things over the years that were reconditioned and they ran great. With that I know that Marcum will still stand behind it. Two years ago I had a transducer go bad on my 3 year old LX 3 called them up it was way out of warrenty and they covered it no questions asked.

Sandmannd- I would take a look on the site and see if anyone is selling used LX-3 with the tc upgrade.

Otherwise Marcum's HSOforum through the spring had LX-3tc's (upgrades) available for you to purchase as well. Giving them a call wouldn't hurt either- they'd be able to point you in the right direction for reconditioned units.

I don't want to break any rules regarding sponsors and such, but if you go to Marcum's HSOforum, one of the site on the "store guide" section sells them. That's where I got mine. Sorry for the vague response, but again, don't know what's allowed and not allowed on this site relating to sponsors and other companies.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
