I am looking ot put a new Depth finder on my boat. Right now I plan to put a FL-8 on the trolling motor. A Clearwater Classic on the Back and a X-15 on the back as well Does this sound like a good deal. What is another option if I can't Put $700 togather for a X-15. Any help would be appreciated.

Get the x-15 if you can. Just remember you wont be able to run any of them together at the same time since the x-15 has gone to a 200khz ducer. I havent been able to test the IR on a vex to see if it knocks the interference out on the x-15. If you cant get the x-15 and want to keep the flashers, go with the x-91

Mr. Pimp,
Yes the x-15 is a very good locator, but it really does depend on what you really need. I was recently out looking for locators also, and I found that there are so many unnecessary options for me. For instance, 3000 watts is a lot of power that would go to waste for me. The digital recording and memory cards would never get used. I already have a GPS, So I wouldn't need that or any of the software that comes with it. So, for a fisher of a degree that I am, I find the X-71, to be a perfect fit. It has 1500 watts, which is plenty! It also has the fastrack full screeen LCD flasher. All of the features that I listed above for the x15 are the ones that you're paying the extra 300 bucks. You just gotta ask yourself what you really need. Matt

The higher the watts, the better the unit will display an arch. If your fish waters 15 feet or more and seeing bottom transition and fish is important to you, buy the most watts and pixels you can afford. I dont agree to look for a unit that fits your needs but rather a unit that works for your needs. No attacks here ,just my two cents. You can also just get the x-15 unit for $699.00 without the GPS

No, the Vex's run on 200khz. Not sure about the Zercom. The new Lowrance's run on 200. They do make a deep water combo ducer for the Lowrance that runs on 50khz but it for deepwater(over 100 feet) only. I have a LMS-350a for sale with the GPS module for $500.It was bought new last year. Retailed for $800. It runs on 192khz and would work perfect with your flashers.

Thanks For the Tips. I'm kinda new to this Advanced walleye stuff.
This is probably a dumb question but are there different transducers that will not interfere with each other? I would like to have both of them running at the same time so my partner knows what is going on.

Best deals I find are usualy at Reeds in Walker... Checkem out if your in the area or they have a web cite.. dont know it off hand. Seriously, not pimping the store for anyone. Hell I have only fished Leech twice in my life.

OK ladies, my understanding is that if you run two ducers that are atlest 50khz apart you will not have interference. So what you can do, and me and a friend are setting his boat up this way, is for X-15 get both the 50khz and 200khz ducers so you can run another system on the 200khz- like a
Sexi Vexi or what have you and run the X-15 on its 50khz, and then run the X-15 on 200khz when you want to, shallower water, pin pointing structure and fish...
To get technical on you, the 50khz reads object that I think .023cm or larger and the 200khz reads objects .007cm or larger... so you are missing out on the difference of .016cm which is so tiny it shouldnt matter. Now running the 50khz in shallower water should not matter.. according to my brother who is a PHD in accoustical engineering. Now I am not the PHD here and this is what I remeber from some research and picking up stuff from other places... If I am wrong, god dont I sound like an one-just-like-silly-me.

      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.
