Good heater for inside a Pro or CLAM5600, even use the sportcat for the Pro. Takes the edge off and even in the 5600 its enough heat to take your parka off. Nice thing about it is when you put back the front of the Pro you dont have to worry about a pilot light blowing out like on the Buddy Heaters. The fan really circulates the heat and keeps your line from icing up!

I remember having to bring back my Power Cat heater to the store, because it did not throw off enough BTU's the colder days..Purchased the Mr Heater Portable buddy..for the extra few bucks and BTU's, I was pleased and warm laugh.gif I also liked some of the features the buddy had to offer... wink.gif

I almost think it boils down to how you dress for your trip onto the ice. If you want it so warm that you can strip down to a sweatshirt and jeans in a permanent shack, then the Buddy is probably the way to go. If you plan on being mobile and use a portable, then any of the cats will do the job and then some.

If its really cold, hovering around zero or below, I have on two layers of fleece over polar weight silks, top and bottom, then the ice armor suit to cover it all up. Got my fur bomber or silk and fleece gator for headgear. Snug as a bug with a couple of toe warmers in my boots and handwarmes in my mitts. The heater takes the edge off and keeps the line from freezing up, I just dont depend on it to heat up to point where I feel I am in a cottage.

I like to be in a t-shirt! grin.gif The cat does not have enough heat for that!! I never tried it in a small one man or a pack shack either. It may work a lot better in one of those?

      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.
