Figured since I did not find a bunch of information on installing the non-Can Am Branded Superwinch on my Outlander L 450 Max, I would post up my experience.
First off call me cheap, I could not justify spending double for the same winch with Can Am written on it, even if the wiring was a bit simpler. So here is the Terra 35 I got on Amazon for 161
As in most posts I have seen, my contactor did not fit on the factory bracket so I ended up drilling one hole and then it fit very well.
My next task was to run the wires, as in some posts I had read, I switched the red and black wires with the blue and yellow wires. The blue and yellow wires were a bit long. I coiled them up and secure them for now as I wanted to retain the terminals. I may reterminate them in the future. The Outlander L has a nice plastic routing channel to the back, I utilized.
I used the supplied breaker. I loosened the battery tray and got some zipties around the frame to secure the box. Also in an attempt to keep the battery terminals uncluttered and confusing with colors, I mounted the ground cable on an exciting ground bolt under the covers.
Running the wires from the winch motor to the contactor was a bit of a task. I utilized some tabs on the cooling shroud and drilled some holes in the plastic above the shock mount to keep the wires off the sharp edges.
Last but not least, I utilized the Aux key switch circuit under the gauge pod for switch and remote power. I put the remote socket in the gauge pod as it was already off, and convenient. Also I ditched the bracketry for the handlebar switch as it was ugly, and managed to use one of the bolts on the brake master.

Hi, so I’m looking to get a xtp 1000 or 850 so I compare specs on can am site and it says the 1000 is 37 lbs heavier than the 850. As far as I know the 2 machines are identical except the 1000 has a longer stroke. Anyone care to enlighten me on the difference? ENGINE / DRY WEIGHT*
850 / 730 lb (331 kg)
1000R / 767 lb (348 kg)

morning guys, I started installing the brp snorkel kit on my 450l the other night. I have a question about the water pump vent hose. The kit gives you a longer hose to run it up to the pod.
I can’t seem to find it, does the 450 have this vent line? Tried searching online and checking numerous pictures with no luck.
Aside from that the kit is going together smoothly.
I have noticed that since the weather has turned cold, my new this year 2013 800 outlander max is very cold blooded when I first start it up. If I don’t give it about 5 minutes to warm up, it will die when I try to give it gas. I also noticed this morning when I checked the oil, that it is now overfull. I am running rotella t6 5w40 and the oil is still clear with about 10 hours since it was changed for the first time. Unfortunately warranty ran out about two months ago. The oil doesn’t really smell of gas and doesn’t seem to be thin. I just got done running about 40 miles on tracks last weekend elk hunting. Any thoughts?
