Just a friendly note to all those tech savy anglers that bought a Lowrance i-finder H20, Hunt or Expedition. The screen on those things is very succeptible to scratches that make the screen unreadable after awhile.

I found a screen protector for the "Play Station Portable" (PSP) that fits with a small amount of trimming and holds in place without adhesives (and it won't blow off either). I found one at Wall Mart, but I bet they're at other stores as well.

A small investment to protect a very usefull device.

Good Luck

Jack

That's another thing I can't stand about the I-Finders, my H2O's screen has more scratches than either of my 8-10 year old Garmins.

I will concur with the Garmin's durability. Mine has been through the mill. It has fallen 16' from my deer stand onto rocks with nary a scratch. I dropped it from my ATV into the mud, took it to a nearby lake, and submerged it to wash it off all without even powering down. I recently fell on it while ice fishing and it came up still working. Accept for the 1/4" long scratch caused by the rock when it fell out of my deer stand, it is as clear today as it ever was. I don't know how the rest of the Garmin products stand up but the Rino120 certainly can take a licking.

I think they're just a soft plastic cling, like the peel-off protective film that comes on the display screen on a lot of electronics nowadays or like the Colorforms game pieces from the early 60s. (I remember my 101 Dalmatians game, can't remember the other, sure wish I kept those...) No residue left behind. I've seen these used by women for their digital camera display screens so they can throw them in their purse without a bulkier case.

I'm not using a purse on the ice shocked.gif but am wondering if it is a cling type thing if it would hold on when I slide it in the pocket of my parka. Was kind of thinking it was a cling type deal. bought a pack of two at wally world today for $8.69. Guess I will just have to cut it open and find out

they are like the stickers they put on palm pilots to protect the screen from the stylus. In my experience, they don't leave any residues. I will be using the stickers for my palm on my H20c from now on.

      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.
