Well Gander MTN, is doing there part after the first phone call to them the fishing department they  called me back within a 1/2 hour. They are willing to give a refund because they don't have one to replace it with.  The stores so I was told have had 22 returns for the same problem. They are trying to get me one transfered from one of they other stores. I will E-MAIL MARCUM to see what they are going to do about the problem !!! I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE MARCUM , This is the first bad feedback I have heard about and it would have to be me!! :'(

I work at Gander in Maple Grove, & we have had a ton of problems with both the 460 & 560.  At least 3/4 of the units we sold have come back, & I"m fairly confident that the rest will come back eventually.  They're a great idea, but Marcum really needs to address this problem or they will be going out of business soon.
