marcum vs vexilar

[chitty is fishin]

Can anybody tell me why marcum has more power than vex? Does vex know something I don't? I'm a proud owner of a vx-1 but I like the display of the vex fl-20 ultra pack. Can any body influence me into the right decision on witch way to go,vex or marcum?

i've been using the marcum for a couple of years and love it. But what you should consider is an underwater camera those are the cats meow unless your in foggy water

I have a aqu view. My ? is marcum lx-5 ? vex fl-20? or maybe hummingbird ice 55. why is vex the most popular on the market w/ 400 watts of power?

What kind of marcum do you use? what model of vex dose he use?

mines an lx-5 and i couldnt tell u what his is

A lot of times interference signals are caused from too much gain for the water depth not another sonar . Start with the gain all the way down and work up until you get a solid line that indicates the bottom . As soon as the mark starts to flutter back it down a little , just enough to regain the solid line again .

It was a fl-8 Mine is a vx-1. do you love your lx-5? do you know if the vex fl-20 has individual bulbs for true color display?
