Any tricks on how to protect a battery from freezing if electric start sled is being transported long distances in icy weather on a trailer or sled deck? Is the only option remove the battery?
I rely on a heated jacket liner and heated gloves when riding my motorcycle in colder weather. Does anyone use this type of gear sledding? Not lithium battery powered but powered via snowmobile battery harness. Can a snowmobile charging system handle this extra load? Jacket is about 7 amps and...
When I was a kid it was nothing to stick your 8.5 foot long sled into your 8 foot truck box and drive away. Could even raise the sled a bit and close the gate. Now of course sleds are longer and boxes are shorter and higher. If I were to want to haul my sled in a 76 inch box it would hang out...

Hi all, after an absence of close to 30 years I am hoping to ease back into snowmobile trail riding. I grew up in Manitoba and trails are what I'm familiar with and enjoy. I will be on the lookout for retired guys like me who may want to meet up and ride together, I could use some guidance and...
