pdk511 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hey all, I was just wondering if you bought a vexilar pro pack ( just the plastic case thing) if you could put a MarCum on there since they are like identical to the size of a fl-8. Please dont start a war about what flasher is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernsportman Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 First of all, your a good man. Second of all, I think there was a subject about this a while back that said it would work but I would wait until some others reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Carlson Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Yes the chassis is the same width, you will need the nobs, power cap, and ducer from the Marcum unit and the rubber spacer washers. The Vexilar Soft Case will also function as designed also with the Marcum/Vexilar Pro Pack or Ultra Pack conversion.A Lowrance and Eagle 500 and 300 series chassis will also fit the Vex Pro Pack and Ultra Pack. The Blue Box works very well for these, especially if used with a eternal 2000/3000/4000 GPS module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Wettschreck Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 The question I have is why would you want to? I ask as the Marcum comes with the soft case when you purchase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdk511 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 I will try to find the marcum case but if I cant then I will just get the vexilar case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallmounter Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Some people like to put their flasher in a 5 gal. pail for travel. Unfortunately that square marcum doesn't fit in the round hole . Th Marcum soft case very nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartmanMN Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 FYI - If you really like having your flasher in a pail, the Marcums fit in the 30lb cat litter pails. They are rectangular in shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeese Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Owning both I like the Marcum case much better, when I use my vexilar I just end up taking it out of the blue bag and throwing that out on the ice or back in my car. The Marcum is a little more compact and is great for hole hopping or portabling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTapper Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Thats kind of why I have held off buying the vexilar case, I think the only reason I would like it is for transportation so it stays nice and scratch free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
