I agree about the size. I got one 2 years ago, mostly for hauling rocks, timbers, cut wood, etc. around the homestead; and it's worked fine. So I just purchased the winch, and tried to do the install. I agree about the instructions; they're not good! In the instructions, the harness connectors are labeled (3M, 4M, etc). But they are not labeled on the actual part (...at least I couldn't find the labels). I made all the connections, and found the white female connector for the shutoff (and with your help, I made the access. connection. thanks). My issue is, I have a purple male connector from the winch harness leftover, and I cannot figure out where it goes. I could not get the switch (on the console) connected, because I can't determine where the other end of the harness connects. guess I'll have to search out the forums. But your video really clarified the install for me (this was my first ever winch install).
I am trying to picture what you are talking about but cant understand what you mean.. What is the problem you are having with connecting the switch? Did you figure it out?
@@Supertramp01 Yep. I got the switch connected (the connector 4M was taped around the main harness). But the 4F connector on the splitter harness is the problem. The instructions say to connect 4F to accessory power; but I can't find any connector that will accept the connector from the splitter harness. I don't want to cut off the connector and splice it into accessory power, but it's beginning to look I may have to. Also, the line drawings in the instructions are garbage. Why not include actual photos?
@@JimDon-xj5qp Pretty sure my video details that but I cant remember without rewatching because it was a pain in the ass to hook this up... I will NEVER do a plug an play again... I have done hundreds of winch installs and this was just horrible. There are dummy plugs everywhere,, I believe the one you are looking for I covered in the video.
Is that the SuperATV kit? Looks like the instructions for their polaris winch kit. I was thinking about buying that kit. Thanks for finding that plug for everyone!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've been messing around with this all afternoon. This got me to the finish line.
Glad I could help!

This is a polaris kit and glad I could help
What mount\plate did you use?
When you get a polaris winch for this unit it comes with the plate.
