Question for you guys.. I recently purchased the Quickflip two (red) I was just wondering abot the back of it. My canvis only goes to about the top of the sled while I think the older green ones have an actual skirt did I get a defective one or is this how it is supposed to be? I will attach a picture so you understand.. If this is how its supposed to be how do you put snow there?

The part around the sled is normally tucked under the lip of the sled and secured with screwed and a rubber/plastic piece.

My older QF3 (green) is just like yours only I have that portion screwed to the sled. It appears yours is hanging loose.

You should have been provided a rubber piece (and screwed) that clips around the lip of the sled and fabric to hold the fabric tightly in place. It should not be hanging free like that.

ONce secured to the back and side lips of the sled it doesn't need to be banked liek the rest of the house - although I will say if it is windy and you don't bank it at all you can feel a draft coming from underneath the sled and into the shack.

I can take some pictures if you are still wondering.

tsande00 - Yea if you could take some pictures that would be great. I was provided like a striping but that looked like it went all the way around the sled but I will double check the bags and boxes tonight (Maybe read the directions a little closer lol) guess I got too exceited about the new fish house!

That striping you mention is what I'm talking about. It goes around 3 out of the 4 sides, at least on mine it did. (The back of the sled and the two sides) You kind of tuck the fabric up underneath the edge of the sled and then put the stripping on. The stripping holds the fabric in place. You should have also received some small 1/2" or so screws. Those screws go through the stripping, the fabric, and the edge of the tub to keep it all in place.

For some reason all of the Eskimo QF images online are taken front the same, frontward angle and you don't see the backs. Do a google image search for flip over ice shack and pay attention to the backs of the sleds. You'll notice that the extra fabric is tucked away via the striping you were provided.

Yep... definitely pink whistle!!!

If you've still got the instructions, read 'em again and look in the box for the stripping & screws that are obviously leftovers wink. If you haven't got the instructions... Eskimo... here you go . Now read #2 at the bottom of pg 11 & #3 at the top of pg 12 & tell me what it says grin .

Topcat3820 - Looks like I just had to read the rest of the directions. How much do I want to pull that over just enough to keep inside that stripping? I really appreciate all your guys's help.

I would have it so that the house can be fully flipped over but still have the fabric taught. You don't want it too loose or it will be flapping around but you don't want it too tight so that when you flip it over it doesn't go all the way to the ice.

Mine does not have much fabric exposed on the back and sides, maybe an inch or less.

      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.
