The new addition in recent years of the LCD flashers are very nice. A ton of colors and they offer a lot of options. They are almost as real-time as a 3-color Vex or MarCum, you can't really tell the difference for the most part. If you already own a 67 or 68, then I would consider buying the ice kit allowing you to turn them into an ice machine.

I will continue to run a MarCum though, as I've become accustomed to those style of units and they work the best for me. However, I've used a 67 on the ice before and its not a bad unit by anymeans...

I tried converting my LMS 334 to an Ice fishing unit and didn't think the response of the signals was as fast as the flasher. I might tinker with some settings to see if I can speed up the signal but for now I will stick with my Vexilar for fishing.

One thing I really liked was using the GPS on the Ice. I also would drive around using it chip to locate the area I wanted to fish. It saves some searching for a depth/spot to fish as well as a lot of holes.

Good luck,

I've had a x67 for two seasons and i love it the graphing feature works great and i have had NO probles with it so far. Also i mounted my handheld GPS unit on to the base via ram mount and that works great also it's nice to have GPS right there. Another thing i had a M68 and you couldn't put ur map chip into the unit so i returned it and got the x67 and an H20c with the navionics premium chip.

Hay Dawg, fellow Buffalo man, I've ice fished and boat fished (high speed transducer) with my x67c for, jeez, 3 years now. I love it, it goes on every single fishing trip I take, open water or ice. I can't imagine going back to a mechanical flasher (too noisy, battery hogs), or a flasher screen for that matter, I run graph mode all the time, they might as well sell me one without the simluated flasher mode. The battery lasts all weekend on one charge.

I've gone on and on about life with the x67c, enough that people here are sick of it, so do a search for x67c and my username back a couple years and you'll find more than you want to know. Don't believe anyone who says it "lags", it's FUD.

Works great at night. I've never worn out the bat. I've used it outside in some really cold weather and the screen hasnt froze up. You will get some serious interference during a contest, with all the vex/marcum people around. I bought the ice machine x67c and got rid of the stupid metal bar and replaced it with a the white vexilar foam float. I also have the high speed ducer in the boat. Great unit!

      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.
