Has he had any problems with screen jump? My 5 year old LX-3 that has a thousand hours on it is more crisp than the ICE-55. Maybe I made a mistake with this thing.
I bought the 55 because I really liked the features. I feel that it tops the LX-5 in that regard. I would like to know if the display is that poor quality that it jumps and skips or if I have a faulty unit.
Not to start a war here but I feel that the vex's are lacking when it comes to features that the high end marcums and hbirds have. I will have to contact the service dept. at humminbird and see what they say. I will report back. Thanks.
alright then i guess i will have to start the war. the only guy's that still use a vex are the guys that never tried a marcum.they both make good products. different strokes for different folks. i like the adjustable zoom of the marcum.
Actually, i sold my marcum for an FL20. The vex has the reliability that my marcum was lacking. also, adjustable zoom really means nothing. Its not needed when fishing suspended fish.

Like I said, i owned an LX-3 and I sold it to buy an FL20. Marcums have to many problems with transducers. Also even after I bought a new battery and charger, my battery would be at 40% after about 4 hours. Adjustable zoom is really worthless. The only time its needed is when fishing suspended fish. Theres a reason that Vexilar still makes their product just like they did 20 years ago, because it works, and its reliable. yes, the crispness and seperation of a marcum is nice, but I wont sacrifice that for reliability.

hahahahahaH YEAH until you want to fish deeper than 160 feet!!!!
I took my ice 55 out for the first time yesterday and noticed that when the unit was on wide beam the screen would jump or skip. The jump was very faint but was noticeable
The unit is in demo mode and this is not saying that it will occur when in an actual fishing situation.
Thanks for the tip Scott, but unfortunately the display still jumps at all range settings. The unit is in demo mode and this is not saying that it will occur when in an actual fishing situation. I will be on the ice this weekend and I will try to use the range settings and see if the problem is solved. I will report back. Thanks
