Those MarCum Folks are really on the Ball. Same deal with ordering them online here ( http://outdoorprostore.com ).

Order early enough at OutdoorProStore.com and MarCum ships out to you same day.

I'm very happy with their customer service as well.

I spoke with John at MarCum yesterday after the monitor on my underwater camera went out after being on the lake for 35 minutes.

He asked me how far I was from the store I purchased it and when I told him about 10 miles he replied, "Exchange it and get back out on the ice."

I was pretty upset when it went out on the lake, but it's nice to talk to someone that understands what customers want and why they purchased the products to begin with.

I'm hoping the montior going out was a fluke, but at least I have the piece of mind that if something goes wrong MarCum will stand behind their products.

Last year i had the camera head go out on my Marcum 560, I thought great the camera is 3 years old how much is this fancy camera gonna cost me. I was in the Brainerd area fishing when it happened so i got the # for marcum and called them. They were very courtious and helpful. The shop that works on them was in Brainerd and they allowed me to take it to them. Found out it was happening to alot of them. The good thing was they covered it all under warenty, the bad thing was the camera heads were on backorder. They shipped it to me free of charge. The service people in Brainerd were great very nice and helpful. Now i have a problem of my camera turning on by itself lets hope they are as good with that. Hats off to the Marcum crew for a great product and even better customer service. cool.gif

Great folks. My camera head got water in it and I called to find out how to get it fixed. The tech dude told me to very carefully check the cable for cuts. Sure enuf, about 6 ft from the head was a cut. they shortened up the cable, and sent it back in about a week, no charge.

Not to rain in on the parade, but..

I agree, marcum does have great service but.. Just about everyone I know has had a problem with their marcum. Sure they get them fixed but......

My marcum LX3 intially had a problem with the gain. I had to set it really high just to see my lure. When I sent it in, I also had them do the color upgrade. They fixed my problem, did the color upgrade, and I had my unit back in about a week or so. Of course, I waited till after the ice fishing season.. I mean, who wants to be without their flasher for a week! This past winter was my first winter with the true color upgrade.

Well, this year.. First time out, the flasher is making a ton of noise (sound and screen display) when I first turned it on. It did go away after about 10 minutes of it being on. Not sure if it's going to nag me all winter or not.. I guess I'll see next time I turn it on.

You know now that I think of it, I havnt heard much about Vexilar.. Complaints or great customer service.. *shrugs*

Hey Kyler,

I bet it is your brushes. My lx5 was doing the same. I sent it in this summer (Fedex Ground from White Bear to Anoka was $6 - sent it on Tuesday it was back to me by Thursday).

They were fast. so far this season it is working great again. Good luck.

Another thing that I feel people should know about the Marcum people...

I teach at a local high school and contacted them ( and one other local fishing equipment dealer) about coming and speaking to my kids. They were the only ones to respond, and they are coming for a whole school day to talk about the business side of fishing...and we are going to have a little product demonstratioin on a nearby lake!

I really appreciate their willingness...and my kids are pumped.

Glad to hear it Luck e, though I'm not surprised. They're all top-notch guys who are very personable, which can be the exception to the rule in some parts of the fishing industry.

I think much of it stems from being a local company with products made here, as well as being somewhat of a new kid on the block compared to some of the competition. They highly value each and every-one of their customers, and are willing to do anything within their power to make a happy customer. Just so happens that they're industry leaders in on-ice technology; not a bad combination!

      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.

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
