Big display, just switch it to auto and let it work. These things are awesome. And to top it off the battery lasted two days in 30 below weather sitting on the ice. My LX-3tc was great but it is gonna get some well deserved rest after picking the Ice-45 up. The only gripe I have is that stupid second cord, anyone got a foolproof way to get it out of the way?

how is the bottom seperation do you loose your jig on the flasher before it hits bottom I have one of the first FL-18s and it is terriable it has about a foot to eighteen inchs where I can't see my jig. Suspended fish works great but when you are targeting bottom dwellers it is useless so what are you guys useing and be honest how much seperation do you have I could live with three to six inchs of missing my jig.

Last year decide to buy a flasher looked at all the brands and decided on an 55 unit. picked it up in December and started the season with it. Really liked the big flat screen and all the other features. A couple of times I noticed the numbers in the center would go up and down and then go back to normal. Not a really big deal as the flasher was giving a accurate reading. Took a trip to LOTW in January my once a year trip with friends. The third day on the trip my 55 made a vibrating noise and the screen went dead. Disconnected bat cables and tried again same noise and vibration. Was very upset to say the least trying to jig for walleyes without a flasher on my trip. Got home and packed it up to send in for repairs. Tracked to there door on thursday morning. Called this morning to check progress was told a couple of more days before it would be done. Then was told another 3\4 days for shipping before I can expect to see it back. I understand that it does probably take time to make repairs and I know mine is probably not the only one there. I'm just a little disappointed with the quality of this unit. The way this is looking I'll be out a flasher for about 2 weeks. I hope when i get it back it will be the last time I ever have to send it in.

I just purchased an ICE 45 and took it on a Lake of the Woods trip. I was fishing in 30ft of water. It worked well, and could easily make out a Genz Bug at that depth. I have also noticed that my display does the same peculiar thing your does, and after watching it for a while, I come up with the idea that it was recalibrating itself? What I have noticed was that if I lift the transducer out of the hole, say to land a fish, it does not work correctly again until I shut down the unit and restart again. Is that something that happens to you? I really enjoyed using the ICE unit and hope that these problems can be corrected.

It is because you have it on automatic. After you pull it out of the hole, you will need to shut it back off then turn it back on to pick up the bottom on the display, or just switch it to the manual mode for the depth you are fishing in.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
