Below is specs for VX-1 from Marcum

Quote:


Setting the standard for performance at an all-new price point. This unit comes complete with battery, charger, electronics shuttle with adjustable transducer arm, self-aligning transducer, gimbal bracket, and VX-1 sonar powerhead. Even at this great price point, the Marcum VX-1 offers our patented interference rejection, a bottom zoom feature that automatically locks on bottom: 5' in 20-ft and 40-ft scale, 10' in 80-ft scale, and 20' in 160-ft scale, and expertly engineered receiver design.

With its 600 watts of peak-to-peak power and complete package of features and accessories, the VX-1 beats the competitions product that sells for nearly twice the price.

Just an FYI...

The LX-2 is in Cabela's bargin bin at $229. I was all set to head down to Owatonna to pick one up tonight, but thought I'd call to make sure they have them in. They were all out, and the rep said there were 11 at their Wisconsin store.

He wasn't sure when they would get more in. I'm not holding my breath since they were in the bargain bin, and I'm thinking they might discontinue them. (I could be wrong.)

They can be purchased online and shipping is about $15-$20.

Both first time posters in this thread welcome! Phish and darven. cool.gif

You will be very hard pressed to get one of those at Cabela's sale price. They only have two left any where as of right now and it sounds as if they never will get them in again. Rogers SOL.

I called up Gander Mtn to see if they would match the price, but they didn't even carry it. I'm not sure if Sheels will honor that price, or if they even carry it. I don't think I found it on their site.

I got an email early this morning. The LX-2 that I ordered got canceled because it's been discontinued. I guess I'm not that surprised. They are getting harder to find.

Shack, did you say that Rogers has two on hand, or did I misunderstand that?

I'll keep watching the sale thread for a good priced one.

Cabela's (threw out the nation) only has two left. By now, I would say they have none. You would just have to call them. Rogers had none on hand, but could order one of the two in for me and it would take 5-7 days. Good luck getting it now. I called down yesterday to just get a low down. Thats when they said the LX-2 is history. You will have to buy one at a pawnshop or find a store that still has them on shelf.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
