From the minor research I have done, the noticable difference between these 2 is Navionics has LOW on it. If you have the Lakemaster chip, how does LOW show up? Is it a basic DNR type map or just a big blue blob with no detail?

On paper, Navionics looks like it will help me the most. When we go to LOW, we like to get out to the Garden Island reefs.

We also go to URL, fish around the west metro & our cabin on Pelican (Grant).

Lakemaster shows LOW as a big blue lake outline with no features. If you want the LOW ProMap (1' countours) you need to by the chip specifically for LOW, which is absolutely incredible by the way. smile.gif

Unless I'm totally missing something, my Navionics chip does not have LOW in the kind of detail that the Lakemaster LOW chip has. I've been told by people in the know that Nav has LOW but I sure can't find it on my chip. What am I doing wrong folks?

There is also a new Navionics chip coming out soon so if you are looking at Nav, make sure you get the '07 version. This new Nav chip sounds absolutely sweet and can't wait to get my hands on it.

The "new" Lakemaster MN chip also has the Upper Red Lake ProMap (1' Contours) on it as well.

6" contours on URL.

The only punishment I think that sounds fair for getting that one wrong hanson is to go to URL with said chip and test out its accuracy. wink.gif

I didn't know you had a Nav chip?, are you selecting the right region for LOW?

Yeppers. Problem is I don't have it on me right now so I can't play with it. I use my Lakemaster MN chip quite a bit on the highway so thats whats in my GPS right now. I'm pretty sure that will be changing once I get the Nav 07 chip.

Navonics LOW is on the NE Map Data. The detail is not great however it does show bouys and main depths. The Mille Lacs map is tons better IMO.

Yeah, claims of superiority of one chip over the other can't really be compared apples to apples. Navionics claims "Complete, Official Govt. Data" of LOTW and Rainy, and it's helpful info as far as those markings go and everything, but it's not like there are 1' contours or anything. But, of course, to get that from LakeMaster, you have to pop for an additional chip.

Look closely and get the one(s) that best fit your own situation.

brian - That could be more a matter of your unit's EPE at the time, not the particular chip being used. 100 feet would be huge, but not totally out of the question. I notice this a lot more in the winter when I tend to have my ExpeditionC in my pocket or in the house. Set it out in the open for a while and watch the EPE drop to something more like 16-20 feet before taking readings or creating waypoints.

      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.
