I'd like to add a block heater to my '04.5 700 but the only ones I see on-line specify "not for 425, 600 or 700." Is there a heater for my ride? I live hours from the nearest dealer.

 

The block heater for the twins is a Pure Polaris item. It bolts into the freeze plug flange below the thermostat housing and prewarms the coolant in the top-end not the block itself. But it still warms the engine depending on how long it's plugged in. In freezing temperatures I plug mine in 15 min before start-up, works good, speeds up the warm up process.

If you go to the Polaris website, there is a Pure Polaris link on the main page. You can order it there and have it shipped.

 

Excellent thanks! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I checked them out http://www.purepolaris.com/Detail.aspx?ItemID=2871507(PolarisPGACatalog)&txtS earch=heater This item also specifies, not for the twins.

 

Yea, your right, it's not there any more. I remember I had to hunt around for it and it was in the smowmoblie section. It was for a 600 snowmachine and also fit "600/700 Sportsmans".

Sorry for the wild goose chase, your dealer can get it.

 

found this link on the Polaris web site?? http://www.purepolaris.com/Detail.aspx?ItemID=2874160(PolarisPGACatalog)&txtS earch=block+heaters

Also found some block heaters on E-Bay that might work for you? Magnetic ones looked like it might work too??

I got one for mine the part #2873069 it is a frost plug heater and it work great it warms it up fast ask you dealer with that part # the only thing I had to get different selftapping screws the ones that come with it where to small bout it work great got mine in 2002 when I got my 700


http://pi54.com/corp/manuals/Parts/9917072r01.pdf This is what it looks like page 33 or you can try getting it this way its the frontier snowmoble same type if engine the #6&7 should work too if the dealer cann't find the old one hope this helps

 

Thanks Shopman, I'll give that a try. I live an honest 2.5 hours from the dealer, I was hoping to order online, but the important thing is getting the right part!

UTU, the bottom of the engine is aluminum, magnetic oil heater is out. The link to Pure Polaris is the same non-twin heater I referenced above. Thanks for the help though.
