Most guys (I think) are going with the Navionics chip. Seems to be very accurate on most of the established lakes and the Missouri River. The flooded sloughs and lakes such as are not usually as good however.

I was just out there 2 weeks ago using a 2006 Navionics chip on Waubay. Be very careful. I hit a rockpile that was about 100 yards from nearest structure showing on the chip. I also had a paper map that did not show it confused.gif

I have the '06 version and was in a boat with the '07 version. The Missouri River is much improved if that's what you're looking for.

I'm happy with my '06 version, but will probably upgrade next year. Things continue to improve.

Farmers have been piling field rock in different places for years that wouldn't be shown on a map. Waubay Lake is full of this type of stuff. There are stock dams and othet things that probably aren't on the maps also. Was it a field rock pile or actual structure?

I don't know, first time out there. It is located off the first point north of school bus point. Kind of SE of the recorded structure. Wind was blowing hard, and I was to busy limping to shore so I could change the prop. Thank god I had a spare smile.gif

My insurance agent told me that he has more claims for lower units being damaged from Waubay and Bitter lakes than he gets from the entire Missouri River Reservoir system. I have an 1800 Fisherman and a 14 foot lund with 15 hp on it. Guess which one I use when on Waubay?? shocked.gifwink.gif

      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.
