I would not try that, when the fish house warms up it creates condensation, witch will be all over your tv witch will fry it out, Now this is with a ventless heater witch puts a lot more moisture in the air. Don't know what the diffrence would be with a vented heater, but I still wouldn't think it would be good.

I know a lot of people use them for their ice cameras. I just bought a 19inch DVD combo for my ice castle. Not leaving in their though and that is why I bought the smaller one so I can transport it back and forth. Very lightweight. When I heat up my shack I crack the windows a bit to relieve condensation and I have a vent.

Can't wait for the new season to try it all out. Hitting Lake of the Woods this weekend in the boat though first!

There are two reasons I would worry about that.

First off, once an LCD gets cold, it needs to warm up to ~55 degrees before you should turn it on. This is something my parents found out when they bought theirs and had to bring it in the basement from outside in January. Luckily, they found out the easy way from the store, not the hard way from experience.

Second, that's going to be the first thing taken if your perm get's broken into. Also, if some thief drives by and sees a TV running at night or something, your perm will be the first one on his list to break into to when no one is around.

Sure it can run of a inverter, I would go with at least a 1000, but you get what you pay for there are cheap one and more expencive ones. I have always had good luck with the cheap ones, but I just don't know what kind of surge protection the cheap ones come with or if it even

necessary. Just something to think about.

We take the 19" and 26" lcd's out when the heat isn't on just to be safe. I used to leave the 19" in and never had a problem though. I would be more worried about theft than anything, we also don't leave the house on the lake unattended unless we are just going to refill propane or gas for the generator.

I had a 17 inch LCD/TV/DVD in my old fish house that I always took out. I recently purchased a 26 LCD/TV/DVD for the new fish house that I am planning on taking out each time as well.

But I have a friend that has a 20 inch LCD in his and he leaves it in there all the time.. personally I don't think that it is that good for it.

GB Fan,

I use a 400 watt inverter on my 26 inch LCD/TV/DVD. Your T.V should say how many watts it takes to run it. My T.V. said (If I remember correctly) about 140 watts to run it so the 400 watt inverter is just fine for mine.

Is there a difference in standard LCD's and the ones you use in cars and conversion vans. I have been looking on a few car audio websites at LCD's for the wifes Buick. If they are made for Automobiles they must hold up to cold. I also think they run on 12 volts. The electronics guy I use for work was talking about L.E.D. tv's that are the newest thing, anybody hear of this?

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
