I've got a Lowrence X-71 with spped, and temp.

Would anyone ahve an idea on any books or cd's that help teach a guy the "fine points" of fishfinders ??? I can use it for the basics (turn on find a fish)... but I dont know enough to be able to use the manual settings to see what I want to see as opposed to what the finder wants me to see.

BATTERY ????

I have 50lb Minnkota 12 volt. I want to run with two batteries at 12 volts (longer run time)... can I put them inline 1ith pos to pos and neg to neg (keeping 12 volts rather than 24) or do I have to keep changing batteries ??

I rigged my bow mount to run off of 2 batteries a few years back and I'm glad I did. You will get twice the running time by doing so. Something to keep in mind, if at all feasable, to keep your batteries as close to your trolling motor as possible. The shorter the power cable from the batteries to the motor, the better the current flow and less loss of juice.
Good luck

Go and get yourself a Marinco trolling motor plug if your boat does not have one already. With one of these you just run the wires from the batt's to the female mount attached to the boat. then you just attach the ground wire to the male plug and the positive to either the 12 or 24v hole in the male plug. The female part of the plug does all of the connecting of the batt's. You can plug either a 12v or a 24v motor into it and it will work properly for either one. and for charging you can just put one of their male ends on your charger and plug it in, it will charge one or two batt's without regard as to whether you have a 12v or 24v system. grin.gif

Sure .. now you ask.

I can help you out some next time I'm around. As for actual publications or videos, that type of thing ... I'm sure they exist, but wouldnt know where to get them. Your owners manual should help you out some. I would try to find Lowrance online and see what they can do to help.

      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.
