LX5  The LX-5 incorporates the latest in sonar technology, featuring a patented 
flexible zoom that can be set anywhere between surface and bottom, a patent 
pending TrueColor display, 2500 watts of peak-to-peak power, patented signal 
interference rejection, Superfine Line Technology, and target separation down 
to 3/4 inch.

LX7  The LX-7 Digital Sonar takes DNA from other fine Marcum sonars –you 
might say it was “bred” for excellence. Because the LX-7 is digital, we can 
pack it full of more features than have ever been found in an ice sonar before.  
With an 8” customizable dashboard display, superior target separation, 
12-level interference rejection, dual-beam transducer, expandable zoom, and 
much, much more, the LX7 is the perfect combination of macro features and 
micro precision.  

Showdown Troller  The new Showdown Troller Digital Fish Finder is a palm-
sized sonar device with full size performance.  For use in either ice-fishing or 
open water situations…quickly “troll” from hole to hole while ice-fishing or 
shoot through your canoe or kayak in order to find fish and the correct depth. 
As a scouting tool it has ne equal; the ultimate in portability is matched to 
ShowDown’s proven Crystal-Quick® vertical display. The sonar instantly locks 
on to bottom, and clearly displays the location of fish and your lure, anywhere 
in the water column.

VS825SD   The VS825sd offers several technologies that are the first of their 
kind, making this system the most technologically advanced underwater 
viewing system available.
Using new technology such as an 8” Solar Intelligent- H2D display will deliver 
the sharpest, most vivid display, even in direct sunlight; Color Kill technology 
allows you to switch between a Color or Black and White image on demand, 
while maintaining crisp screen resolution; On-Screen displays of Camera 
Direction, Depth, Temp and Battery Voltage take all of the guess work out of 
your camera position so your new VS825sd can be used to hunt for underwa-
ter treasures, locate the “spot on the spot”, observe fish in their natural habitat 
or learn how fish react to your lure or bait presentation. The applications are 
endless, and it’s never been easier or more fun to view.
