I just converted my Lowrance LCX-25c to ice duty using the ppp-16i kit and I'm having a couple of issues.
The first problem is a battery one. I'm using the included Lowrance 7 amp battery and using the sonar for the voltage readings. When fully charged the sonar reads 12.6 volts, isn't this a little low? Normally this wouldn't bother me, but this thing is a battery pig. It's current draw is listed at 1.5 amps and it doesn't read accurately when you get to 11.9 volts or lower. Are the voltage readings on Lowrance sonars pretty dependable? I'm at the cabin and don't have a voltmeter with me(you'd think I would've learned by now). Aren't fully charged 12v batteries supposed to read 14.4v? Shouldn't a 7amp battery last me 4-5 hours? I keep it on the lowest screen brightness that I can.
The other issue is where to mount the GPS module. They show a picture of one mounted on top in the instructions, but they don't mention it in the wording. Any ideas? The only structural parts of this kit are the plastic base and the canvas bag.
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.
