wow looks liek a fun program to play with but i can think of lots of more usfull things to spend 180 bones on.

bet this program could make good money going to a free program with micro transactions. IE I by the lake i want to look at for 10 bucks.

I have been running the LakeMaster® Contour Elite™ MN for several months now, it's an amazing program with many useful tools and features. Lots of just plain Kewl features in it.

It's ability to grow with you is a key element, as is the journal integration.

The new LakeMaster® Contour Elite™ Lake of the Woods Rainy and the New Dakota's versions are out now. I was quick to order them.

I would recommend the version for the region you fish the most. They are tools that will pay dividends for the long term.

I picked it up at the Ice Fishing Show this past Sunday. I am VERY impressed with what I have seen so far. I am having a little difficulty believing the feature which highlights the areas where the fish may be depending on species, time of year and time of day. Only time will tell. There are tons of great options on this software including the fishing log. I can't wait to put it to the test. The 3D is truely amazing!!!!!

You can take waypoints, tracks and such info you organized from the Contour Elite Program and then put it on a data card, and then upload/transfer that info to you Lowrance GPS unit, and any other model and manufacturer unit its compatible with...Garmin, Hummingbird, ect.

The actual CE program itself, the 3-D imagery for instance, will remain on your computer and can not be installed on the sonar/gps.

There is only a few gps units out there that could handle the complexity of this CE program at this time, a few series high end Garmin's might...but that is not an option...not yet anyway.

On another note about Lakemaster- I just got a new version of Contour Pro. My old one quit with my new computor a year or so ago. I put it in today and got the message to register it in 30 days.OK, so I started registering it on line. Guess what- the response said thank you for registering, your access code will be e-mailed to you in 1-3 business days. Now it wont open till I get the code. If you get it don't register it on a weekend, Lakemaster is closed. Am I doing something wrong? Sorry, I'm not trying to hijack your thread just trying to keep others from being as dissapointed as I am today.

Could be possible at some point down the line, with added layering and security I suppose?

But you would need the base CE program first, and then buy unlock codes for the lakes you wished to purchase.

I think in the end you would find yourself paying more, once you added a few more must have lakes, when just buying the whole state or fishery right off might be more cost effective.

I agree with you but its much easier for me to sneek 20 bucks past the wife then it is 180...

      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.
