Can-Am Outlander Synthetic Winch Rope Install step-by-step guide 

Alot more work than I expected. Gonna give it a try today, but outside, in a blizzard

Thank you for your videos. Very informative. I have a new winch and it’s just about a year old. It’s used for plowing. And cable broke. Going to fix it tomorrow. But am really pondering getting synthetic rope. Don’t look like it’s bad to change out. Thanks again for the video.

Awesome🤘 Nice shop!🤘🤘

Add me to the lost of people hating the design and winch that comes on these machines. The pocket the winch is installed doesn’t allow one to watch the line spool. Can’t see it to guide it in properly so it gets kinked and breaks prematurely. Also, the HD winches are cheap and die prematurely, and the solenoid is poop as well. I had dealer install an hd3500 in 2020, on my 650 xmr and it died after a few uses.. Just bought a new one because it installs easily, but don’t expect it to last. Thanks for the video. I wasn’t sure how to deal with the front of the plastic skid plate cover and now I know. Also, thanks for naming the fastener sizes.

Nice job!

Awesome video. Did the “fair lead?”” come with the cable ?😊

I have a 2024 Outlander 700 xt and I'm taking out the steel cable and installing synthetic rope but I forgot to measure the distance between holes for the bolts for a new hawse fairlead. Do you happen to know that measurement on the new gen3's? Thanks.

Newbie here. Can I use synthetic cable if I have a snow plow?

Great video. Informative and to the point. Did you put the red paint near the end of the cable to mark the unspooled end or did it come that way?

That's what I'm putting on mine. Cable breaks alot .thanks

I think a 3/16" rope might have fit through the drum holes. If it had fit, would you have threaded it through all the holes like the original steel cable? Do you think the set screw and friction would have been enough to hold the rope securely?

Max, i have a 23 850XTP and Im following your steps. Does the cover just pull back to gain access to the winch mounting bolts? I removed the bottom 2 but it feels like I will break it pulling it away. How does the cover pull back after removing the bottom 2 bolts?

Just replaced the cable after very light duty twice. It was already starting to kink etc. My new rope is already showing signs of wear? I bought Hunter 3/8. Should I have bought heavier? Also, it's a 2022 650 XL and only has 18hrs on it, I added a plow recently and the button for in & out is backward. In is out, out is in, can I simply change a connection, if so where would I.

What happens when you get to the very end of the line that eye let will not hold

Try the decafe coffee, it would make watching your videos easier.

What size thickness was the synthetic rope u installed? Great Video Man👍 I heard if u use 3/16 thickness you can put 50 feet on but if you use 1/4 only 40 feet……but not sure

What size fairlead do I need to match the holes of the old one

Is this the same installation as on a 2022 Canam 650 MAX Outlander?

i lost one of the screws for the mount any one know where i can order some more?

Your going to make someone mess their quad up by leaving the battery hooked up they going to watch you and thinks its ok should have been the first thing you did pretty much 🤦
