Polaris Tethers or Aftermarket

I have run the Polaris Tethers on my last two sleds with ZERO problems. Not sure where the junk idea came from, and don't care. They flat work for me, and reliability has been perfect.

If you want a FANTASTIC mount for the tether, give a shout out to SnoDawg. He has a little item that is AWESOME. :rockon:

I would post a pic, but my sled is in the shop for an ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, uhmmmmm ...........................estimate.

Well my latest ones are on IQ sleds as I don't have a pro, but it should be the same thing. There should be a pigtail coming off of the ignition switch where the tether will plug in. From there just figure out where you want to mount the switch pin and drill a 1/2" hole and your pretty much done... takes all of 5 minutes to do. The unit looks virtually identical to the one sold by SLP.

This is the one I use in the same place and it has always worked great with no problems.
 
I have had a couple of these on two different machines. They worked great and it was easy to put the clip back into place. Although after a couple of seasons of use, the plastic clip would split right after the cord loop, eventually moving apart like two fingers move away from each other (as a scissor would open). The grounding mechanism works on spring tension separated by the clip. As a cracked clip eventually scissors open do to the sled bouncing around and coupled with spring tension on the clip, the clip comes out and the motor is grounded. I fixed it using epoxy on one and a combination of a tiny screw and epoxy on another. Also the internal spring mechanism is made of brass and corrosion builds up. This corrosion is enough for it to stick (as if the clip was still in it) and will not ground the motor when the clip comes out. It was an easy fix, just take it apart and clean it up. No matter what tether you use its a step in the right direction, just ask anyone whose sled has ran away on them or your sled is on its side, throttle stuck wide open and the track lugs whipping round and round going whop whop whop on your brand new 200.00+ jacket and actually didn't mind after all said an done because it wasn't your arm that wasn't taking the beating. I have since switched to the OEM rubber button style tethers and in the 5 years of use, I have never had a problem with them.

You can buy a replacement cord with clip. Most say the push button kind can freeze. We also sell those.
