New MarCum LX-5 arrived today!


Recommended Posts

I am new to the site, and have been reading the posts on here all winter. I fished Canadarago lake alot this year so I was checking on this forum for updates. I thought I saw that you had some LX 5's for sale and wanted to upgrade from my VX-1. Sorry if the question was out of line...

Called today!! only about 20% left at the warehouse for the LX-5. Should last for one more week. Get yours quick if you are on the fence. Jeff also stated that they have camera's too, The Marcum US-380 for $269. That is a steal...Thanks Tim for the info. Great place to work with.

Tim,

Mine came to the door yesterday.. Yee Haaa. I do have one issue though.... Mine does not have the "stopper" for the transducer that goes on the arm to adjust the depth of the transducer. Who do you suggest that I call for that part?? Thanks

Corey

Corey call Jon Marshall, MarCum customer service (218) 251-7991. Tell him you purchased it from Reeds.. Jon will take good care of you. Welcome to the MarCum family Corey...

Remember when adjusting your transducer cable try to wet/spit on the transducer cord before sliding the stopper. Protect your investment.

Tim, I want to give you a call sometime with some questions about the LX-5. let me know when is a good time to call so I can pick your brain a little. (be nice everyone)

Ok - i'll start with the obvious. I believe K13 flipped around a few words. I believe he meant "little brain" not "brain a little"... whistle

Wow, it's not even fun when the ball is placed on the tee for ya...

AW , aka Clyde Bigalow - I always tell people that me picking on someone is a sign of affection. If I ignore ya then be worried...

BTW, Beth mildly scolded me last night after we got off the phone for how loud we are and the raucous laughter. cool

Also - I got an almost new LX-5 mounted up on a holehopper delivered to the house the other day... grin

Corey it's a pretty good crew in here, the finest I have seen but if you don't have a thick skin it can get a little rough.

    • 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
