My UTV

2008 Yamaha Rhino Special Edition 700FI


 

Venom 4500LBS UTV Winch

 

Yes - it's turned 180 Degs ... so it looks backwards ... but now the power cables are clear of the bumper and I didn't break the factory seals trying to turn the motor.

 

Here's how it looks from above.

 

I mounted the contactor to the center support ... with the 2008 the air intake/filter box makes it a tight fit.

 

It's a UTV winch ... so it's longer and taller then the past ATV winches from warn i've used ... looks like it will help protect the radiator.

I installed the mini switch on the dash and the plug for the remote wired control on the side ... then you can use either from inside or outside the cab.

--UPDATE 01-2010--

I took the winch apart for it's yearly cleaning ... found alot of mud and water got in :(.

After completely taking it apart and cleaning all the mud and grease out ... put it back together with mobil one red grease, all is good.

I also turned the winch around, since I had the motor off, I clocked the motor correctly.

I have to say my winch spends 75% of the time under water and mud ... it didn't fail ... even with all the mud and water in the casing.
