Hey guys/gals Are you happy with you flashers? How is the true on the ice battery life? Would you buy it again? Thank you.

Posted

I have an LX 7 and yes i would buy it again. First of all i want to state that any flasher is better than no flasher. With that said there are some neat things the LX6 and 7's allow you to do. The unit is going to show you basically the same things that any flasher does. It gives you the bottom, your lure, and any fish that swim through. It is nice to be able to customize the views to personalize to your fishing preferences but other than that there is nothing magical about it. I have not had any issues concerning battery life. I updated the firmware a couple of times and that took care of most issues on the first release. As stated above i wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

I've had mine for a year and a half. I had a showdown previous to the LX-6. I love it. I get a full day's use out of it. I always charge it after, so I'm not sure what the full life of the battery is.

As far as the functions, I love that I can still have the vertical column as well as a traditional flasher-dial up at the same time.

If I were to do it all over again, I would go with the LX-7 because I think the bigger screen would be a benefit for me. I don't hole-hop much, so I'm not so worried about portability.

I pre ordered one when they first came out. Still have it and has been the best unit I have ever owned and have owned most in 30 years. Yes I would buy it again without question in fact dis buy the wife one to last year.

Yes, the LX7 would be the one I would buy. I hole hop with the Aqua Vu micro which is much more portable.

Thank you guys for the feed back!

I hole hop with my 7 every trip out. No issues... Weight is no difference... All battery weight anyway. Staring at one of the best screens to hit the ice in an 8" screen also. I'll carry it any day .

I have both a 6 and seven. I love them both. I like the 6 more when hole hopping and the 7 more when sitting in the house. If you want a bigger screeen get the 7.

Very happy with my LX7 and I would do it all over again.

I have the 6 and my dad has the 7, each has it's place. If I were buying again I think I would spend the extra few bucks and also get the 7, it's huge/awesome.

I love my LX7 and would pull the trigger in a heart beat. They are an all around good unit. few flaws, but every unit has them. I pulled my brother from Humminbird and my cousin away from Vex. They both are very happy they joined Team Marcum.

I have a 6 was too lat last winter to get a 7 ordered from Reeds. I like it but my buddies 7 is far less crunched when running 3 items on the displace.

I love my LX 7 and even bought the open water transducer. It helped me big time catching pan fish as you just look for the cloud and start jigging them in the boat.

      Those flooding problems are a sign of your needle and seat are leaking.  If the needle has a ring around the tip you can clean it if it's brass. If it has a black rubber tip then it needs to be replaced. You can clean the needle and seat with things like rubbing compound or even toothpaste I use a product called Semi chrome. It for polishing die pins. Just clean them up after polishing.

      All of those Polaris sleds from that era were notorious for flooding and leaking. I've still got a 2003 XCSP 600 Edge that my daughter rides. As you noted, you need to shut off the fuel in those situations.
    • SkunkedAgain
      Yes, but it could make for an amazing walleye opener.

      How old is your belt?   My old Polaris 4 wheeler with belt drive was bogging at mid range to top end last year.  Changed the belt and that problem went away.
    • JerkinLips
      Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases.   Primary is significantly worn.  I replaced several rollers and pins which helped.  I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install.   It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting.  Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches.  Thanks for the ideas.

      Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his.  This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances.

      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?
