My marcum problem

[forest2482]

I currently have the marcum VS560 and it just broke this weekend. So I have to send it in to get fixed and won't have it for the Winnie trip which is the reason I bought it. So now I;m going to buy another one for the trip and was wondering if I should go with the same one or get the 825. I really like the fact that you don't have to spin the cord on the VS560 and I wondering if the picture is that much nicer on the 825 that it justifies going that route. Any help?

One of the cameras will them be for sale on here after the trip.

I'd go with a different brand. I had a lot of faith in Marcum because of how well my flasher works.

I purchased one of their cameras and the montior went out in 35 mintues. So I exchanged it and got another one. The second unit I got the camera went out 3 mintues into a 4 hour tournament.

I called their customer service right away on Monday and eneded up leaving a message, which was never returned. I did get an email back a few days later recommending I get the camera 2 models up because the reliablity of the camera I purchased was poor. The store I purchased it from was not re-ordering because every unit they had sold of the same model, 12 to be exact were returned to the store with defects.

I figured one time is a fluke, but when the second one went out and the best advise I could get was get one 2 models up because the one I purchased was not reliable, I would be the cause of my own headaches if I purchased another Marcum.

No I live over by green bay and they told me two weeks. I also had a Aqau-Veiw but sold it for the rotating camera. This camera has worked great all last year and summer fishing also.
