Hey guys,
I just put in a egt and water temp guage and was wondering where the easiest place is to to wire in the positive and negative wires in are. I was looking on the wiring diagram and i really dont know how to read it lol. But its a 2004 pro x2 w/ perc if that matters. Thanks for the help

There is an accessory plug(for a tether) behind the headlight switch. Not sure how many volts it supplies though. It may work?

There isnt ANY positive and negitive DC voltage on a prox unless you have electric start! you can pick up regulated 12VAC not dc behind the head lights on the brown and yellow wires in the spare plugs.

so would it work with ac or do i need dc, it is fine if the guages dont work that well at idle

You can build a rectifier to make DC power out of AC power , its very easy and cheap.. Just make notice of what your gauges needs for power. The stuff designed for snowmobiles for the most part are AC and the stuff designed for cars is 99% DC only.

Well I am pretty sure that both the gauges use AC. The egt gauge is meant for a snowmobile (pyro 2000) and the temp gauge came off of my banshee which was AC, so i think that i should be all set.

I run a pyro 2000 on my 700 , Yes it is a 12VAC gauge and it works very good ! just be carefull when Det starts your EGT will drop off because the heat stays in the jug not the pipe! My 700 shows good wash and very safe egt with the probes 5" off the piston face at 1220*f. I run a tempaflow with 420 mains, the tempaflow is dialed lean about 1/5 of a turn so I think I could run 410's on the dot. I leave the 420 mains in it just incase I can only get 87 oct fuel (my head was cut for 91 oct min). Midrange EGT is the hottest and WOT drops off some , fuel is cheap compared to aluminum.

Also if you dont ride powder all the time and you sometimes ride hard pack trails you really should look into a polaris rear tunnel AUX cooler! every polaris water cooled EDGE and PROX sled is right on the edge of running hot if its hard pack or wet snow!
