Does anyone have a Marcum LX-5?

[Vitreus]

Hey guys, my LX-5 is acting up… I think.

 

I took it out on early ice and it wouldn't even pick up a jig. Long story short, I've replaced the battery, the transducer, and sent it in to Marcum, but it still seems messed up. Like it's lacking the sensitivity/target separation it had before. And the colors seem off. But, I'm red/green colorblind so I have a darn hard time explaining what's going on to Marcum.

 

It'd be really nice to see another LX-5 side-by-side so I can make a comparison. If anyone would be willing to help me out, that'd be awesome. I'll drill the holes - heck, I'll even bring some bait if you want to make it an outing.

 

Thinking about heading out after work on Monday. Post here or PM me if you're in.

I can meet up Mon afternoon. Get a hold of me.

^ Good guy. Thanks again.

Were the two of you able to meet up and figure out your LX5 concerns?  I have an LX5 as well if you're still looking for help.

 

As always,

Take care

Thanks for the offer Tom. We met up and it checked out. Put it to good use this weekend

 Nice catch.  If we meet up again I'll bring the Ice 55 and you can try out the different colors.

 

Got out Sat but my fishing partner didn't arrange our mess of fish so nicely

Not a bad little days work!  Glad to see the LX5 was getting the job done for you.  I did not see it in the photo of your nicely arranged fish but I'm sure it was close by.

 

As always,

Take care

Hey, not bad! I'd definitely like to see how that Humminbird looks. Tried out a friend's FLX-28 this weekend and really liked it.

 

I'll get ahold of you. We have some great panfishing weather here.
