Polaris Winch Problems

I've got a Polaris 3500lb winch on my 2013 Sportsman. I hit the IN/OUT switch and absolutely nothing happens. No sound, no clicking, nothing.

- the connection to the battery is good.
- i hooked jumper cables up directly to the winch and it works great
- i used my multimeter and the +- cables on the solenoid are getting 12+volts

How do i tell if my problem is the IN/OUT switch or my solenoid?

Anybody have any ideas? Thanks for your help!!!

Pulling hard to the right on hard surface.

My 16 570 is my first ever ATV so I don't always know what to expect. I noticed something today that seemed kind of strange. Not sure if it's always been this way or not (only has about 25 hours on it.) I was riding on a long stretch of freshly paved road and noticed it was pulling to the right. Not just a little drifting but if I let go of the bars it would have yanked me off the road quickly. When I was off the roadway going across a smooth freshly picked soy been field I could push the throttle with only my thumb and nothing else touching the bars and it would go pretty much straight. Not know what to expect out of a quad is there something to be concerned about if it pulls pretty hard on a roadway? I know with a short wheelbase it's not going to track like a Lincoln but I am having to put quite a bit push into the bars to keep it going straight on the roadway. The road had a little cup to it but not near enough to get it to pull like it was. Seemed weird it tracks fairly straight on grass or dirt but not a pavement, bone stock.

570 and 850 questions

Sorry, tried the search feature and managed to confuse myself, so I'll try just asking.

New to ATV'ing and the wife and I have a 570 and 850 Sportsman.

I'm told and the manual says, that the water line should not go over the floorboards, we're finding that we are getting water over that level, not by much but enough to worry about it.
Is there much fudge factor here, and is there kits to help that, snorkel?

Also is there anyway to decrease the engine braking at very slow speeds?
When going slow (under 5mph) and you let up on the throttle you almost come to a complete stop.
Be nice to be less severe.

TIA

Polaris sportsman 850 ride

This Is a small video testing out my new gopro 6. Heading up Bountiful Canyon with my Polaris Sporstman 850 touring. This is a fun ride but it's a little cold this time of year. Make sure to sub as I will be adding more rides in the future. Also my opinion polaris is one of the best atvs out there.
Side note the gopro battery does not last long this was only 32 mins into my ride. There is so much more up there I need to get some videos and show you.

Won’t go full throttle

I recently replaced my carb on my automatic 03 330 magnum(caltric brand). It was running like it was brand new. I went through about a foot of water yesterday( obviously no where near the intake). When I was in the water the wheeler started to bogg until I got out of the water. I was able to give it full throttle after that but a few minutes later it wouldn't go full throttle and has been that way since. Does anyone have any idea what can be causing this?

I have new spark plug and new twin air filter.
