The old Trap Pro is going to need a new canvas and cover next year(it's the old hig side tub). Can't decide if I want to replace the parts and customize her or go with a new shack. Who'd got an opinion on the new options? Give me pros and cons if you would. Thanks in advance. Can you tell I'm bored? I'm thinking next year!

Fullmoon - If its the old high style tub that opens front to back instead of side to side, the new covers wont fit. We had new covers made around 5 years ago, they are bullet proof but pricy. Timmy knows who made ours, not sure if he's still willing to do em. If your tub is really beat, my opinion is to buy a whole new trap...

Thanks guys. I ordered but will call them now to make sure or cancel. My friend co-owns DiSano canvas in Frankfort, I could always ask them to make me one if it's affordable. Planned expediency, make them buy the new product!! An all American concept.

Just got off the phone with CS and they said No. Nuts. Got a good idea from the guy though. Instead of skis, he said a few guys at a tourny in MN were using electrical conduit bent to form a frame around the tub and act as runners as well. Said it worked and look great. It's been some time since I bent pipe (electrician in my younger days) but I think I can still pull it off. Looks like I'll be in touch with Clam before next season to get a "dealer price list" Shipping could hurt so I may have ot order a few to make it worth it. Sold in the past on wantaddigest.com. We'll see when the time gets here.

      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.
