Hello all! I'm a bit frustrated, and could use some advice with winches. I have a Gen 2 Renegade 1000Xxc with a BRP-Warn Provantage 3500-S winch kit on it. The winch is around three years old, and I think it's only been used two or three times. I mainly trail ride, and avoid water any chance I can..... although my winch has definitely been under water many times. It's something I don't need often, but when I need it... I need it! Last weekend it wouldn't work, and I couldn't even pull the rope out manually. After checking connections and voltages to it, I decided to pull it off and have a closer look at it. I was shocked to see that both sides of it were completely full of water. Is this a common issue with Warn, or this particular winch? I spent a lot of money on this kit, and thought I was buying the best winch available. I plan to contact Warn about this, but already kind of assume that they will do nothing to help. Is there a better winch on the market that I can count on when I need it? I'm also a bit concerned with fitment issues in the BRP bracket if I go with a different brand winch. Thanks in advance for any advice-recommendations!

HELP! Sudden power loss!!
This is a 2013 outlander 800 with 16 hrs purchased 2 months ago with 10 hrs on it.
I went on a short ride around the house and crossed a 6ft wide creek floor board deep. I stopped at the creek for 20 seconds and noticed a drop on idle RPMs. Normally idles at 1250 and dropped to 950. When I hit the gas the belt engages at around 1800 and the machine felt powerless. When It hits 2800 the power kicked back in.
As I returned home the power will not kick back in and it drives now but powerless. It does gain speed bit takes a while and has no good throttle response.
Dis something get wet?? The creek is no deeper that 1” over the floorboards.
Please help!

power steering for older sportsman (2000-2003)
Has anyone installed a power steering kit on an older sportsman
2018 Sportsman 850 Touring New OEM Sportsman 570 QuickTap Battery Posts, 2882110
Although sold for the 570 i read it will work.
True to form, they are only 12” long but appear to be well made.
1) they say to hook to the bus bar. Where is that???
2) would it be ok to hook to + and - of the battery instead?

Mangum 330 tires
I have been using my machine to push snow. I am finding I could use better traction and the OEM tires just are not doing the job. So I have been looking at tires with the hope of better traction in snow and ice. Seeing I will be buying 4 tires with a investment of 4 to 5 hundred dollars I hope for some improvement. One of the styles I like the looks of is the Bear Claw. Just what is out there that works good in the snow? In the summer I do woods, trail, and mud and find OEM tires do me just fine, so I also would like a all around tire.
AFR System
Okay gentlemen I have a dilemma I'm hoping you can help me with. I have a 2004 sportsman 700. I have installed a AFR gauge to help tune my machine. It all works fine until i am using the winch it seems that sometimes when I activate the winch it has enough draw that it causes the AFR system to lose enough power that it goes to an E8 code, meaning it lost continuity/power for just a second. If i turn the machine off and then restart it its all good until the next time amps get low enough and i use the winch then it does it again.
I am hoping someone can give me some suggestions on how to stabilize the amps/current to the gauge so it doesn't make the gauge go to code. Don't know if any of this makes any sense to you guys but if anyone can give me any help it would be appreciated. Thanks Dale
