Looking for current model 2019 filter kits to keep powder out of engine compartment. I am watching the powder shoot directly into the upper holes when counter steering or overhood powder. Makes belt slip very bad. I am sure some other people have encountered powder... what are you doing?

I can't believe polaris would have not encountered this... or installed the wrong hood on my 163 pro.

I just used dog-proof screen sandwiched between the aluminum vents and the hood. Works great.

I use this kit from frogskinz on both of my sleds. Have run then for a few years and they work great.

Your sleds look happy about it too.

For me it's actually cheaper to order from a dealer rather than through Frogskinz themselves.

Can anyone confirm that 17-18 vent openings are the same on 2019?

I don’t have enough time in them to give s good opinion yet. The snow was very wet and heavy that we rode in. The trail manners of them were good. The others in our group with the stock gripper skis had some darting issues where I did not. All sleds were new 850’s

Pet proof screen.... Been using it for over 10 yrs. Works great and holds up good. A roll will last you a LONG time and its very cheap at your local hardware store.
