I am looking for something that will alert me in the fish house when a flag goes up. A guy I work with has something he bought that does this, but it was 30 bucks and only has a sensor for 1 flag. Anybody have any suggestions for something that will work for at least 2 or maybe 3 flags?

Strike Sensor is the way to go. You get a pager that stays with you and the alarm goes on the tip up. The is a code just like a garage door opener that you punch in and you can have as many alarms as you want as long as you have the same code punched in. It works up to 800 feet away. Thats what I have been using for the last 3 years.

Buy the strike sensor it is magnificent. You only need one of the pagers. They sell just the sensors seperately. Currently i have one pager that takes care of four sensors. 2 for me 2 for my lady.

I saw a set up last year that I want to try this year in my house. It was a wireless battery doorbell system (you can buy them at any lumberyard/hardware store. They come with two buttons that you just need to attach one to the flagpole and the other to a something like a "L" bracket so when the flag is up they make contact and it rings the doorbell in the house. Looked easy to set-up. Man I should get on this myself.

I'm getting a strike sensor this year.

I got a cheaper version, Flag Alert by Nature Vision, last year. It worked, but is tricky at times turning on and off. Sometimes it was hard to tell if the thing was turned off.

The clip-on alarms that light up when the flag goes vertical work nicely at night when you can see your tip-up.

How far away can you be from your tip-up legally?

In Minnesota 200Ft. That means 200 ft at anytime. You can't set your tip-ups 200 ft away from you in different direction's and sit in the middle. If you go to one tip you would then be 400 ft away from the other tip-up.

So, you must be with-in 200 ft. of your tip-ups at all times.

i've made my own lighted tip-ups in the past. usind the insulated tip-ups with the little tackle storage area, by using small trailer clearance lights a nine volt battery and wire bent over the flag to make a swith. when the flags up the light comes on. total cost about 6 bucks

      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.
