moving the scratchers to the skis is the most effective.

You don't need the stand off block - just slip end inside rail cut out ....

I’m talking about the actual mount that holds the coil on the rail.
I'm not sure how you guys are liking the Doo scratchers.. I've cracked so many sets off in the last few years I've completely given up on them. They work great for the short period of time they are still attached to the rail though!
The oem ski dampeners make the oem scratchers look really good. Polaris has some work to do.
How are you breaking the rail mount??? Have them on a couple of Ayxs and Summits and gave only seen the stand offs break ...

The cast aluminum shatters.
Happens on most of the sleds I’ve seen with the same Doo scratchers.
Never happened in our group in the years we've used them. Those Doo scratchers have been great for us.
At least there are a few options for folks to try.
Universal/Bi-Directional Ice Scratchers 2.0
p Tired of breaking Ice Scratchers every time you back up? Ibexx Ice Scratchers are designed to function in reverse without any damage. They will also apply a lot of force to the ground while you ride to maximize snow on the track. The Bi-Directional Ice Scratcher 2.0 kit is faster to install...

The Doo scratchers don't break but they also don't cool much compared to the Ice Storms.
They don't break?? That's not true at all..
Thats how mine look after a few rides.
To quote every dealer who looks at an issue on our sleds:
“I’ve never seen that happen before.”
Okay, just not as much as the traditional scratchers when accidentally backing up.
I wholeheartedly agree the OEM Poo scratchers are complete garbage. Go out in your garaqe and drop your OEM scratchers to the floor, guess what, those two coil scratchers won't even touch the concrete, much less hardpack snow. I broke three in two rides, bought the Staycool 3 coil scratchers that actually exert a little down pressure, they last forever, and actually cool your sled. Garbage equipment, such as the OEM scratchers make me wonder if there is any R&D/Test Rides that are performed prior to any sled release. Give me one to test, I could have told them they needed an improvement in about 100' on the trail!!! Why they haven't improved on this in 20 years is totally incomprehensible. I went for an early morning ride today, seven miles down a frozen trail, had I had the OEM scratchers on I would have had to turn around and go home, as several others did.
what are the stacool 3 scratchers you are talking about? can't find the 3. link?
What is this? I can't find anything by that name.
Polaris must have built one hell of a sled if the biggest complain is the scratchers.
Hopefully they fixed the jackshaft and fuel management and bogging issues so there wont't be! The 2022s have a lot of potential.
Jackshaft?
