I did a complete boat modification last summer and am slowly working the accessories into the boat....just finally got a pedestal seat last week for the front deck and what pedestal seat can be without a bait holder! A couple hours into each fishing trip I have baits all over the front deck and I'm usually almost a bit OCD about organization so the baits everywhere drive me a little nuts....haha. I did some searching on here yesterday and found the post where RK talked about his CA box.....thanks RK, the 3" plastic downspout worked awesome for this.

$12 total, 30 minutes to make and it was ready for baits this morning. I got 2 sections of 10' plastic 3" gutter downspouts and already had one tube of liquid nails (that stuff is aweesome!) I was looking at it when it was all put together and was trying to figure out a place for the tools....then I looked over in the corner of the garage and saw the 1" black PVC - perfect! I will probably will do another one for the back pedestal and make an actual CA box to fish out of other boats. Thought some of you might like a look....

To make that one better, take your bandsaw and notch a each side 2x so the hooks sink in and keep the baits from mixing anymore then they already will.

I wondered if they would be okay like that or not..I'll bust out the dremmel with the cutting wheel tonight.

Shoot2kill---Looks awsome--I need one for my boat.

Anyone know where you can buy one of these for those of us who don't have the time or desire to make one?

Thorne Brothers or Rollie and Helens has the "Pedistal Pal"....for 70 bucks.

Shoot's quality on the box and the picture (cheap cell phone technology at its finest!) is better than mine but I decided to do this in an unused livewell and it freed up some deck space. I put the hook notches in and so far am happy with it. A $6 abrasive wheel on a table saw makes it real easy to get clean cuts. Thanks goes to my bro for the final assembly.

      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.

      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.
