Going to bite the bullet huh? I finally had to do same thing towards the end of last years ice season and got the H20C. Go for the lake master chip and go for the H20C if it is in the budget.

Maybe see ya Rush sometime, (then maybe you can show me how to use mine grin)

Congrats on the future purchase... I think you'll like it.

What's an XOG?

Lowrance XOG GPS - it's a cross over that can be used for outdoors, and also int he car. It has some downfalls from all the research I've done (shorter batter life, not water proof), but for what I need, it should work. Also nice to have one that works well in the car too.

Does the Lakemaster chip include all the lakes in MN? I just received one also and I was trying to figure out which chip I should get but when I was researching what lakes are on them I could not find that anywhere on the internet. Can a person also purchase a chip for these of roads?

The lakemaster chip will allow you to zoom in much further than the navionics chip, but the navionics have more than just minnesota lakes... i believe the navionics chip has N.D., MN, MI,and IA, but the lakemaster only has Minnesota lakes...

I got the Lakemaster, and my buddy got the Navionics.

My buddy wishes he had gotten the lakemaster.

Here is a link to the lakes on the lakemaster chip, check to see if the ones you fish are here. There are many that I fish that dont have contours but I can still save waypoints on them. Many many lakes though!!

From what I understand, the H2O units are going away from the standard Lakemap format. In other words, you won't be able to use the same chip in your boat depth finder and the H2O in the future. The new h2O units will use the micro SD card, or at least a different one than the boat models use.

I'm not sure when the changeover will occur, but really a bummer if you ask me.

This info came from a salesman at a large sporting goods retailer, who had just talked to a rep from Lowrance. The rep said they've had all kinds of people contact Lowrance to tell them they're making a big mistake, but no luck. It's one of those "corporate" decisions that leaves the customers hosed.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.

      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.
