I don't know about the Cabelas ones. The design is fine, it just depends on the plastic. I know there are two other types - Roberts and Attwoods - that look identical. One is bulletproof, the other will snap like a twig. Just depends on the materials...

I've use the Ram 2000 holders for muskies for years, and never had one fail. Doug Johnson has them on his boat, and if he can't break them, nobody can...

I have scottys, my buddy has Ram 2000, I like the Rams better but his have loosened up a bit so they sag back a little, the Scottys are more solid but a couple of my rods can get kind of stuck down in the holder and I have to give them a yank sometimes.

10k, what do you mean? At the moment I'm finding Scottys for cheaper than RAMs, so I might be inclined to go that route depending on your criticisms. I'm looking for flush as well as opposed to side-mount or deck-mount, are there any pros/cons to mounting styles? I just happen to like the look of flush mounts the best. As far as installation, just a hole saw right?

I have not used the Ram rod holders but I have used the Down Easters and the Flobee's and Scotty's.

My favorite of the bunch is Flobee then Down Esters. I would stay away from the Scotty's for muskie fishing.

I pull joited 10" Believers and the 13" Believer along with Jakes and other crank baits. The Believers get your rod tip pounding back and forth -eventually the Scotty's will loosen up or vibrate up and swing to the back of the boat.

I have used my Flobee's 3 years longer than the Scotty's and they are working flawless.

Good Luck

Steve

Flobee = Folbe?? or are they different?

      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.
