Hi my name is EBass and I'm a Vex-a-holic. I do not rep for them, I just really like the FL-18. Marcum is a great unit too. Either way you can't go wrong. Sure beats the depth plomb routine! Happy Holidays everyone.

I am drooling over the thought of fishing right now, but I will not be able to get out until Friday morning i dont think!!! Maybe not even until Sunday...I have used Vexi's before but never the MarCum. I want to see its up's and downs pronto.

I'll leave feedback as to how it performs.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but it is an important "insignificance" to me. the lx-3 is much quieter than the vex. I can now hear the roar of my mr heater double heater much better., but seriously it is just a little more peaceful in the ice house now. smile.gif

I am not one of those brand loyal guys. I'll buy a Chevy or a Ford if I think its the best price and has the most features.

I have a Vexilar Edge II on my River Pro. It has a feature that I need to stay on fish.

I have an Auqua View Quad 360 becuase I wanted to see in every direction at the same time.

I have a Marcum LX3 because it has better IR, target seperation, better zoom capabilities, and the display is crisper and easier to see.

I am not a Ford, Vex, Aqua View, or Marcum guy.

I am a guy who gets the best product for its intended purpose.

I actually got out and tried my LX-1 at a lake near my home. I think i saw a few fish, but i didnt even have any bait...just a jog. Nothing bit, but it was pretty clrea on the screen.

I only fishied in about 8 ft of pretty murky water! The MarCum held its own and I now have no regrets.

I can't wait to see hos it works on a big lake in a shack. It was pretty cold just walking out there with no shack.

Merry Christmas all!!!

      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.
