Hey here's a funny thing.. I was nice and brought Z and Craig my spikes as I'm done fishing this season. While at Z's place I notice this big box on the ground. He say's I got the LX-5's and Craigs coming over to put them together??? confused I'm thinking "That can't be right" blush I then asked Rob to open one up. He opens and pulls the MarCum out "Geez it's all set up! smile and then I said check tha battery compartment and he lifted up the flap and low and behold he was in amazement it came with a battery. whistle I told him hook up the positive termeinal to the battery and the DCS came on 100%, "He's beside himself now" :Dat this time I am trying to hold back from laughing grin You had to be there but I can tell the night shift he works is killin his brain cells. wink Guys are getting there new stuff in about a week.

Todd, I used the 5 this past Summer on the bow of my boat and just set the transducer over the side. The craps and lures showed up just like I was ice fishing. I was thinking of adding the boat ducer also, but I think the portability might have some advantages . . .as well as disadvantage. I'll be experimenting this year on the open water.

Got mine today woo-woo . Instead of March Madness it's Marcum Madness for me. Only wish there was some ice to play on, its a long time till December.

Tim, I put a post on the other site pointing out that the lone complaint was the guy that you explained got his from Reeds instead of being directly shipped from Marcum. The last 5 posts have all been the same - brand spanking new, etc.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
