rockrider said:One thing is for sure, I know my sled never built up a glacier like your Phazer. That is crazy! I'm guessing that came from a high milage ride on smooth, groomed trails in cold temps?
That actual picture is not taken of the phazer I owned but my looked exactly the same under such conditions that you describes.
Driving in powder when temprature was from -10deg celcius and colder was the worst conditions.

Yeah because this particular type is round, I didnt have very many options and I thought it looked cool where I put it. Otherwise there probably are better places to vent that area. Although......even at an idle when u put your hand over the vent, I can feel a slight vacuum so im sure at 8,900 its like a 6.5 hp Shop Vac sucking in cold air.....08NitroRTX said:unchained you very well may be on to something!
I am just speculating but I think more of those would help! (higher and further back also)

I finally experiance the left foot wetness ( not really though). I kept an eye out for the wetness while riding, sure enough, I just didn't notice it because my boots are waterproof. A guys gonna have to vent that side for sure to get cooler air in.

Went riding last night, my left inside bottom cuff of my bibs were wet. It was water running down from the tunnel in front under the seat.

I was riding in a bean field with about three inches of snow. So I know it wasn't running back from the front. I could see the water run down the side of the tunnel by my left foot. And after the sled sat for a bit, it left a nice little ice trail down to where my foot was.

Rode sled around the back yard and parked it in the garage and also noticed water running down the tunnel from under the front seat area.
Now how to block that off and or redirect the river.

Seat comes off in 4 bolts, 2 take 12mm wrench for the plastic and 2 take 14mm wrench for the seat it self. You have to remove two peices of the plastic to get to the seat bolts.

Has anybody came up with potential solutions to redirect the heat? There are a lot of vents coming off the clutch side.
Yes..but need more time on them so I'd rather not say until I feel it does OR does NOT help.. Should know by next week end. Dependent on snow!
Oh and you wouldn't believe how tore down my sled is right now! (and has been for 2 weeks! lol)

If all the water is coming from under the seat then that would be an easy fix. You could take the seat off and run a bead of automotive type silicone on each side and replace the seat on top of it. That would for sure seal the seat to the tunnel and the water would have to come out the back instead. The only drawback I see with doing this is that if you ever have to remove the seat in the future it would be a major PITA. For the majority of us we will never be taking our seats off anyway so its a non issue. The only time I've ever taken off a seat on any of My sleds is after it was damaged so if I damage it a little more taking it off who cares?

I noticed there was alot of water coming out from under the seat too. Is it entering from the exhaust hole in the tunnel? I think the wet boot could just be cured with a good pair of boots. My toes got wet but the bottom of my bibs didnt get that wet or maybe they dried with the heat. My new boots should help

You could be on to something for sure! BUT If we let that silicone set up BEFORE reinstalling the seat it could still seal the area and NOT be hard to remove the seat. We just have to actually look at the bottom of the seat and see if this can be done.

Maybe, but I can't see that being the main reason for the moisture because of how my shin gets wet from side to side. I know the clutch side is clean of snow (probably because the heat) but the chaincase side has 2" of snow/ice every ride but our conditions are 6-12" of soft snow on fields.
