I'm looking at getting a new Vex. Is the auto zoom really worth the extra expense? I primarily fish panfish, but want to get into more walleye fishing, which has me leaning towards the 20, but how much of a difference does the zoom make? I assume the 12 would still show the same information, just without the insane amount of detail right?

I have a fl12 and a fl22 . The fl20 won't show a whole lot more detail than the fl12 but there are times the zoom is nice. If you have the extra coin for the fl20 I would say get it and then if the zoom is something you find yourself using a lot you will be glad you did.

dude what are you talking about?? the FL12 is a flat scree upgrade of the FL8. there are many different options on the FL20, like the zoom at 6, and 12 feet, just watch these vids. also has the low power setting for weed fishing.

I was in the exact same boat as you are right now a few ice seasons ago. I had been debating for months on whether to purchase the FL-12 or the FL-20. Like you, I fish primarily for panfish, but have always wanted to do more walleye fishing through the ice. I researched a lot and read countless reviews on other individual's opinions. I then weighed all of the pros and cons about each unit and I decided that the features of the FL-20 were worth the extra money. I absolutely love the zoom feature especially when you find a school of fish near the bottom. The zoom allows you to see into a heavy school and allow you to pick up your jig with the added target separation if offers. If you have the extra money, don't hesitate to purchase the FL-20 but either way you won't be disappointed IMO.

      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.
