Just thought I'd throw a little warning out there for Polaris RMK Pro owners. I managed to tweak my tunnel after I three seasons on my 2013 RMK Pro, this bend came from me mobbing a really whooped trail for a good 9 miles or so straight at speed. I'm a little surprised it took three seasons, as I'm well over 1500 sled shredding miles on my sled, plus I tend to jump, and beat the hell out of whoops regularly with my board in rack.

Tunnel damage:

The fix was rather simple, Better Boards makes a full bumper that braces up against the stock brace. It's well worth the $200 or so investment if you are going to run boards in rack. I just wished I'd installed it before I started cracks in my tunnel.

Fix:

Happy sled shredding!

never noticed that CFR didn't have something for the Polaris. Just throw the blades on with the skidoo. Thanks for the heads up!

sorry to her, yes tunnels were never designed for this kind of weight with skis or boards, so either like the previous person said, get cfr blades or just slow down when the whoops get bad...lose 10 minutes but saves tunnel!
