Got my Marcum LX-3 in today! Read through the owners manual, tried the demo mode briefly, then headed for the Shelly pond since I figured I'd never make Ririe before dark. The flasher performed fine. Found out that that thing is at least 26 ft deep. Was able to see my lures just fine. Don't know how it works on fish though. Never saw one on the screen and never got a nibble in the 45 minutes I was there. Oh well. I also noted that it is dead silent w/ the transducer in the water. There's a light hum when you take it out, but otherwise I never noted any sound from it. I'm off to work for the next few so guess it goes on the shelf until Sunday or Monday. Maybe I can get a real test out of it then.
