Gus Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 We just got a Polaris 700 EFI and I'm just dying to outfit it for ice fishing. What kind of accessories do you all use? Auger rack, Bucket holders, etc. I'd love to see some pictures of your ATV loaded up with Ice gear and how you organized it. Thanks! Gus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Gus, Click on this link to see my Sportsman 700EFI that I ran last year. Otter Ice Machine This year, I have some 30-inch ITP Mud Lites. Currently, they're mounted on my 700EFI but my '07 Sportsman 800 Twin EFI should be arriving shortly The 800 will need a lift kit installed to clear the rubber. And, I'll throw my Otter Outdoors ATV accessories on it as well. Take a good look at the Otter ATV stuff because they'll last your lifetime and are solid.

bgmny Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Dave, did you notice any loss of power with the bigger tires? I have a 700 efi and was thinking about a tire upgrade. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMITOUT Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 You'll definitely lose your bottom end power with any tire upsize regardless of engine size. You're effectively changing the final gear ratio by increasing the tire diameter which will kill the bottom end. Most people that install tires 2" bigger or more will install a clutch kit to help bring back the off-idle power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Haven't really rode it yet since the tires touch the back of the front fenders. The new machine hasn't arrived yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopad Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Here's a pic of my Rig, 2004 Kawasaki prairie 700 with a Otter Lodge Fish House. A new attatchment I have this year is a 5 gallon button holder off the rear rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopad Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Its an otter II. I went directly to the factory and bought the fish house. The yellow sled is actually a second and theres nothing wrong with it. They said the yellow sleds didn't sell very well. The only thing I don't like about it is that now it makes me look like a packers fan with the green fish house on top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMITOUT Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Dave - I see you have the Otter Monster Box on your ATV and was wondering if the mounting is somewhat adjustable to allow mounting it further back on the rack. I'm looking at the medium size box and would rather have it a tad further back so that it's easier for the rider get on and off. I'm used to swinging my leg over and although moving it back slightly wouldn't help a lot, it would give a little more room. I'm a little leary of my size 12s with ice cleats going over my seat time and time again. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Otter's Monster Box mountings are U-bolts, so, you can mount the box whereever you'd like. Having it back a bit further isn't a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt.Blaine Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 BenjaminD, Did you get a better deal going to the factory? I have the Lodge, but am thinking about getting the double wide tent to put over the same sled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopad Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Yes I did, I got a better deal on the sled, fishouse and benchseat. They were all seconds. Everything else (hyfax, and hitch), was full price. The only thing that I can find wrong with the seconds, is a 1/4inch cut on the back of the bench seat.
