Here is a nice write up from someone here in Colorado. Details the good and bad about it.

Are you positive you downloaded the update for “versions upgrading from 2.9 or lower” – and not the version for 3.01?

Gander states ships from vendor in 15 days – I purchased mine through them and it was on my doorstep within 5 days, but that was before the season started so they may be a bit of a gamble.

Otter makes two different covers – one for the fish house shelter – and one for just the sled. The number you listed 1330 is just for the sled, so essentially it’s not made for the shelter.

You need to find the shelter cover with number 1830.

The colors on the LX-6 seem to not be as vibrant as on the LX-7. Especially the green. That or maybe I am just half color blind. The other thing I noticed on the LX-6 is that on the graph chart display it almost sits too far to the left side of the screen and cuts off the depth numbers when looking straight at it – have to move to the right a little to see everything.

I use the Normark Finbore III. Off-set handle like the NILS, and same Mora of Sweden blades as the Lazer. Off-set handle makes it a lot easier once you get the hang of using both arms. Blades are readily accessible and easy to change.

Ha – I am in the same boat only I recently purchased the LX-7 and am wondering if I should go with the smaller LX-6 instead. The 7 is nice – just can’t decide if it is a little too big/bulky for moving around.

Eagle Claw factory store in CO has them going for $15 right now because they are without a box and can’t be sent to retailers. They are going fast though. They can be shipped if you call and place an order.

Thank you for the suggestions – I really appreciate it!!

Thank you James – trying to decide between these two for my first flasher. Unfortunately no local stores carry them so it comes down to what I can find on the internet.
