I just got a new set of Powder Pro's and the mount kit that comes seperate has 2 sets of holes. They are about 3/4" on center apart. I'm guessing the front set will put more weight on the ski and give more bite in the steering and the rear set will take some of both away. Right???? It didn't mention anything about in the instructions about it. Maybe this is a new design?

Thanks for your help......

I believe the further forward hole makes the sled dart less, but steering effort will be increased. Further back hole will make it dart more, but steering effort will be easier.

Just the opposite is true.

For those that haven't seen the SLP Powder Pro/SLT mounts, there are not multiple ski mount holes for the spinde bolt.

On the SLP mounts there are different holes for the carbide studs to go into the mount. The ski is held to the metal mounts by the carbide studs. So, with the forward holes, the ski is positioned forward in relation to the spindle, which makes steering effort less, but could increase darting, and will make the ski turning action somewhat more aggressive.

You trade stability for reduced steering effort. The Polaris 07 IQ skis move the ski forward in relation to the spindle, to reduce steering effort.

Your SLP dealer should have explained this, if you need more info give them a call.

i run both my sleds in the forward holes, tried both, left them in the forward holes....
