Eskimo EVO2it Modifications

[Jasonslm]

I pulled the trigger on the evo 2it. First thing I did was throw that piece of a table Eskimo calls into the fire! Then I made my own table! Mounted to a hinge! Next, that tent is so bulky when stored in the sled. Last thing I need to worry about is packing the sled with gear and it ruining the tent. So I made a protected storage bin...
I haven’t decided how to store the ice anchors yet. The soft pack Eskimo gives to store them works put I don’t wanna put little rubber caps on the ends of the anchors and sliding them into that soft pack when it’s Frickin freezing out.  Throw that piece in the fire as well! Here’s some pictures of what I did.
Keep an eye out for the poles wanting to poke threw the canvas. The 2nd time I had mine popped up(in the garage) the rear roof pole busted threw the renforced pole pocket. Eskimo would only send me some 12” patches to sew on. Awesome!! Threw them in the garbage, and bought a Speedy sticher to fix there sewing issues. Thanks Eskimo!

I cut 1/2" sch 40 PVC tubes about 6" long  for storing my eskimo ice anchors in the soft pack. They fit tight in the loops and anchors cannot poke holes in the bottom of the pack. Don't need the rubber tips, drop anchors in and go

You will love it once its setup on fish. Room, windows etc

I would suggest you drill the back frame supports so they don’t lift up and out of the sled. Put a pin in.



I also found marking your holes can be tricky. I have two straps, one from each corner, that aling at each hole. Each color twist tie marks a hole when both yellow ties on each strap match up it marks a hole. Like a triangle.

Smat, What is the white PVC? Rod holders with a ruler?

[Smat64]

Yup. Two hose clamps hold it on.

Just don’t  put the tent up or down with rods in there.


 Put the tent down load em up and move.
