High Voltage drop to slide motor
Good day folk :) I just purchased a 2017 Sportman Classic 181BH. I noticed the slide felt "sluggish" like the motor is not getting proper juice. Decided to do a test and by-pass existing wiring a...

You can always improve voltage drop,....if you don't run outta money first.
But in reality, there is nothing wrong w/ it. That's why warranty/Dealer will not fix what ain't broke.
Any 12v dc motor that is not under continuous duty load, is designed to run at 10.5 minimum. The factory uses the bare necessity when it come to wiring, but its adequate to pass the minimum voltage specs.
Will the motors last longer at less Volt drop ? You decide,...but if the motor is not heating up, I'd say no. Will the motor run faster ? Of course it will.
But considering most slide systems are designed to run w/ a charging system operating, the voltage drop mite be less than what you think.
