I have installed the SPI electric starter on my 2016 M8000 for my wife. She loves it. I didn’t have the right seat to accommodate the battery so I made a custom battery holder by my exhaust can. It does add some weight but totally worth it as her sled became harder and harder to pull over each year (Mother Nature is catching up…lol). It took me 4 hours or so to complete this project. Hope this helps.

We've also installed one on a 2013. Already had the long seat so we just put the battery in the stock location.

Works well.

Anybody know where the black wire with a ring terminal on it in the same harness as the red wire with a ring terminal that goes to the battery side of the solenoid goes ?? Not addressed in the instructions at all I assume since it's black it goes to battery negative but u know what happens when you assume?! anybody ??

Put it to the negative battery post F... it ..It starts and runs and didn't let the smoke outta anything so guess I am good to go ? Hate it when instructions leave out szhat!!
