Sharing your video is easy. The video output jack located on the rear of the monitor 

allows for adding an external monitor such as a bigger screen TV or a video recording 

device. The camera and power cables have been designed with 90° terminal 

connections to prevent cable wear. Along with the 90° connections, each cable 

connector is keyed differently to prevent plugging the cable into the wrong port. The 

rear cable access panel provides cable strain relief and is screwed to the back of the 

monitor. The panel securely holds the cables in place and prevents unnecessary wear. 

The 75 feet of reinforced camera cable is flexible for ease of handling yet offers high 

tensile strength. 

The Manta camera incorporates internal ballast weights within the camera housing. 

The amount of weight is ideal for trolling at low speeds or keeping the camera tracking 

smooth in current. For added open water stability or to use as a down view camera, 

the fin (included) snaps into the rear of the Manta camera housing with ease. 

Following MarCum’s standards, the VS825c is protected with a stylish reinforced 

padded soft pack case. Under the soft pack is a molded ABS hard case with a built in 

battery tray and a Velcro strap to securely hold the battery in place. Next to the battery 

is a storage compartment for the camera and camera cable. The monitor folds down 

flat and the padded case encompasses the entire system protecting it during 

transportation. On the left side of the case is a carrying handle for ease of transport. 

The sealed 7.2 amp rechargeable lead-acid battery can provide up to 8 hours of 

continuous use during ideal conditions. Battery run time will vary depending on the 

condition of the battery, use of underwater LED lighting, level of screen backlight 

(brightness) and LCD heater system. The 1 amp, two-stage charger will quickly charge 

the battery back to full capacity. Once charged, a small green LED light will be 

illuminated to indicate the charger has switched to a trickle charge mode. 

The VS825c offers a full one year warranty backed by MarCum’s first-rate customer 

service!

pack. Once opened, loosen the knobs on the either side of the gimbal bracket (at the
