Couple things I learned about my Phazer this weekend

[Cubby]

We had a boys weekend at my buddy's cottage at Minaki. 3 Skiddoos (09 Adrenaline, 09 500SS, and a 13 MXZ 600 ace) and my 07 Phazer GT. Snow was over waist deep on the lake.

1. The Phazer is easy to carve in the deep snow on the lake (first time doing it - here's a short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19NOptETE-g).
2. The 1.5" Freeride track makes a huge difference.
3. After playing in the deep snow all day and it going down to -25 at night - the fuel pump relay will freeze. Drained the battery trying to start. Thanks to TY I knew which one to take out and warm up. Updated relay on order.
4. After playing in the deep snow all day and it going down to -25 at night - the parking brake cable will freeze and snap when you turn to put it on. New one on order.
5. When playing in the deep snow the raditator plugs with ice/snow making it useless.
6. The 600 Ace is a fun little machine. Incredibly smooth take off. But it needs more hp (hence the 900 Ace).

Good info. Did you notice with your temp gauge the temps going up when the radiator was plugged? I have a screen on mine and gives some space between it and the rad so it doesn't get completely plugged up although it wouldn't pull fresh cold air, just the warm air from inside the cover. The snow/ice also comes off fairly easily off the screen.

I have a screen on my rad and I'm thinking of taking it off. I'm also thinking of putting a larger hole at the bottom of the plastic under the rad so I can push snow/ice out.

Yeah the water temp gauge is great to have. The fan comes in around 85 C. When that happens its time to stop and clean out the rad and the slush between the track and the heat exchanger.

Wow I almost got nauseated on your first set of donuts.. LOL What's sticking out of the tip on the r/h ski? Looks like your loop bolt is backing out?

Mount for the camera.

Yep - mount for the camera. Didn't work out well - it was too shaky or under snow!

That's caused by the top of helmet camera mount. Makes the video look like the rider is 8 feet tall and makes him look like a Teletubby. Contour all the way baby!
