Those of you guys who took delivery of your 08 700 Dragons. Where are you getting the power for your heated helmet visor wire??? On my 07, 700 Dragon there was an unused two connector plug that was bundled into the harness just under the frame holding the steering tube above the motor. it's not there now???!!!!

What are you guys doing. Actually, i'd like to find two sources for 12V as i want to hard wire my gps.

Any solutions??? Willy, are you out there??

I found them on mine. Wired my GPS, working great. Appears Polaris moved the two 12V accessory plugs from the handlebar area down toward the nose of the sled. I describe what I found on my 08 Dragon here:

Yo Craze1

many thanks for the info!!

i'm grabbing one of the 4 plugs for my gps and the other for my helmet visor shield.

funny; i went to the Big East show at Syracuse yesterday and talked with two different factory poo guys. both insisted that the harness on the 08 was identical to my 07 dragon. told me that i must have missed the two prong plug that was up top last year. go figure.

thanks again

i wish polaris would just put a plug right on the body. than you dont have to deal with wireing and stuff. do like ski-doo did.

Just be aware that only two of the four plugs actually carry the 12V you need...I have no idea what the other two plugs are for. So pay attention to wire colors as I described and you'll find them.

I suppose it's still possible I (and now you) overlooked an accessory plug up near the cockpit. But I haven't heard of anyone else finding it yet...so I'm 98% sure it's no longer there, obviously different from last year.

rheal q, I agree totally these should be standard. My 07 Yamaha Attak had a 12V accessory outlet as standard equipment, which I took for granted. And if you're right, I guess Doo puts 'em on too though I didn't seriously shop Doo this year. It cost me exactly $8 (paying full retail at an overpriced marina) to buy a quality marine grade outlet that's 100% stainless steel, internally shielded from moisture, with an integrated weather-tight cap for when it's not being used. And I've seen cheaper versions at Walmart for less than $4. So you know Polaris could do this for about $4 or less per sled if bought in bulk. Then again, another $5 would get us an actual tool kit like other mfrs provide, but Polaris for some reason shorts on that as well.

These are two very strange and obvious oversights IMO for any modern day sled. Otherwise, it looks like a well built machine and I'm sure I'll enjoy it this winter.

yeah, 10-4 on poo missing the boat with the tool kit, as well as the dash accessory outlet.

when you were checking out the 4 plugs in question with your voltmeter, did you happen to check out the two connector black plug??

thanks again for the good info.

No, sorry I did not. I didn't need anything that heavy gauge for my uses, plus I was in a garage with extra thick 2-stroke-extra-break-in-oil-fumes building VERY quickly....so time was of the essence before my lungs shut down! So I left it alone and didn't even test it after I found the other 2 leads were good. If you have any old meter, just set it to DC Volts and fire up the sled and put the leads to it. You can't hurt a thing. If you get approx 14V DC, that's another good lead to use. But if you get jumpy readings, or high or low numbers, then it's not the right kind of power.
