Do you set your locator to be course up or north up? I always leave mine on course up, because I have a very hard time keeping track of where north is.

I was just wondering if anyone else has that problem. Also is there an advantage to one over the other?

Course up when I am running the boat from spot to spot.. But, if I am position fishing to a waypoint, it is much easier doing this with North up..

+1. My brain is "spacially" limited it seems. When running at "on plane" / full throttle speeds, I like course up so I don't have to mentally configure my boat to the the screen to determine if I need to veer / turn left or right. My HB has a North indicator when I use coarse up as well. I also use coarse up while trolling. When moving slowly / hovering / "fishing to a waypoint", North up. Screen doesn't "get confused" that way. Most guys I fish with use North up only.

Course up because I can be directionally challanged but based on the suggestions, I will have to try switching to north up for slowley working a spot. But definately course up when under way.

I also use look ahead which puts the boat location lower on the screen, instead of the center. This gives you more to view in the direction you are heading.

North up. Seems less confusing to me since the map isnt constantly moving around. But to each their own. My uncle likes course up, we had this discussion about a month ago. We share a boat up at my cabin and he was telling me he finally found out how to switch the brand new 858 we got to "course up". I said I hope you took notes because I'm changing it back to North up when I get up there.

Haha..

I was on Mille lacs last 4th of july, in a buddies boat with a lowrance. About 5 minutes into it, i reach infront of him, hit 5 buttons and shut off his dang BEEP BEEP everytime a button is pushed!

He had that lowrance for 2 years and never found out that if you hit Menu twice, you pull up a whole nother set of options. tired

Ha. Sounds like some of my buddies who still text with the beep every time they hit a key on their phone.

The guy I fish with for our work fishing leauge is an old timer and he has a nice GPS/Sonar combo, as well as an H20. He uses the handheld for his lake map, which is fine, but he puts the lake chip in the combo and only uses that for split screen depth and track\bearing?? Too set in his ways though to try and understand a better way.

North up.

Course up does not work for me if I am not moving - too much movement on the screen. I use one of those compasses you pin to your shirt to reference direction - works great. Course up probably works fine for trolling but not good at all for still fishing a wayoint.

Well, I am glad to see there are others that get confused by north up, I thought I was the only one.

I actually posted this on a couple of boards and for the most part it is pretty well split. I will say that it seems the better sticks like the north up option rather than the course up option. I found it interesting using both for different applications.

I am always game to re-try things so I will give the north up another go. Maybe an epiphany will take place.

As always, Thanks for all the replies and comments!

      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.
