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!
