You have the otter rod box mounted incorrect. I like the plate on the blue cover so it open up flat.

Hey I ordered the Arclab graph plate based on what I saw on your setup... Dumb question, but how did you know what size screws to use to mount it? Or are you supposed to use the screws that are on the handlebar where its mounted? Thank you!

I'm really loving my Rapala mounts on my smitty sled. If my snowmobile was running, I'd definitely want some on that, too. At this point, if I bought a new snowmobile I think it'd be like a guarantee that we'd have 5 more years of no snow. Ha, ha, ha. I'll probably look into a wheeler just for you, TJ. Guaranteed snow if I went that route. Do you have studs on your track?

They are sweet! I have always wanted to make a smitty sled, but for how much I would use it I feel like it wouldn’t be worth it for me! This one doesn’t thought about adding them but again, other than this year, usually don’t have a need for it!

Thanks, Brian! I loved it this winter, just needed more snow! 😂 I’m not 100% sure as I guess I didn’t realize they had more than one size. When I looked on the website it looked like there was maybe just one size? I could be wrong, but would assume this was a large if there are sizes

Great video! I have basically the same exact sled (21 Indy LXT, which i believe they changed the name now to the Voyageur), so seeing how you did this is VERY helpful for me. I love what you did with the Arclab bracket for the graph and I just may do that considering our handlebars are the same. Currently, mine is attached using the boat mount and heavy-duty zip ties. It works/looks good, but the Arclab mount looks much better. Just might go with that. Hopefully it works for a Garmin unit. Also liking the Otter Monster Box idea as I plan on buying my first LiveScope unit this year and was brainstorming ways to safely haul it out on the ice on a machine. Again, great video and thanks for posting this!
