Hey guys. My buddy's dad made his Otter into a very sweet fish house by building a flat deck with compartments and puting indoor/outdoor carpeting on it, so it is like sitting on a bass boat. He also added Reflectix foil-faced insulation to the top and back of his canvas to prevent heat loss and "rain" from the condensation. My buddy said his dad got his ideas from this site. Has anyone tried these ideas or any others to make fishing out of a Fish Trap Guide (2 person) even more enjoyable? I want to keep it light and fairly simple.
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.
