I see that no one else posted it, so I guess I'll be the first......saw the first ice of the up comming season on Monday morning!

As a matter of fact I had to scrape it off the windshields of the trucks...won't be long now! grin.gif

Talk about weird weather? Frost on the vehicle roofs and ice on the windshields on Monday and a chance at 95 degrees by the end of the week...Our Minnesota weather can sure throw some curves!

I'm also a diehard for the hard water.

Last week I was shopping for a new SUV and before I even went for a test drive the first thing that I checked was to see if my portable fish house would fit in the back cargo area! smile.gif

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but there have been times when I've stared down the bloody hole for so long that long after I've packed up, I can still see the hole with my eyes closed. Kinda like what happens to TV's and computer monitors. The image gets burned in.

I actually miss it! lol

we should make mirrors that when set into our fishhouse walls at a 45 degree angle, we can see directly down the hole. Then we wouldn't have to stare "down" the hole, just at the wall wink.gif I guess that's the "penny-pinchers" Aqua-Vu, lol. laugh.gif I call dibs on the patent laugh.gif

I've thought about doing that more then once, especially as the snowpack gets thicker. It's either that or use bobbers with 12" long toppers! lol The mirror idea is probably best!

As ShawwnyB how many times I talked about installing mirrors. I think he got sick of me bringing it up, so you'll have to fight me for the patent! LMAO

      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.
