skid plate questions/instructions

[gdhillon]

Anyone have a copy of the installation instructions for a skid plate on a 14 pro?

MIne didn't come with any, the parts lady said to just drill out the old rivets and the holes will line up. But they don't line up. The only 2 that line up are the ones after the curve

I was contemplating just marking where the holes are on the skid plate and doing some drilling but I don't really know what I could potentially drill into on the sled

It only fits one way. I belive u drill out two rear ones and the rest will be new holes.

Okay, so should I just mark the sled where the plates holes are and then poke some holes ?

The ones that are at the back of the skid plate on the bellypan don't line up at all, the only 2 that line up are in the middle

My main concern was hitting stuff like oil line or something else important. That's why i thought it'd be best to start a thread about it before getting drill happy

Haven't installed one on a Polaris but I would mount it with the two holes that line up first. Then you can tape up your drill bit so that it does go through too far. The pre drilled holes shouldn't have a conflict behind them but it is good reassurance. It is usually easier to drill a couple holes then rivet those. Keeps all the holes lined up that way and you can get the skid plate fitting tight.
