Ready to hit the backcountry with your new 509 Mountain or Trail Tunnel Bag? Let’s get that bad boy installed so you can shred with confidence. Here’s how to do it, step-by-step, with a touch of radness:
Prep Your Ride: Make sure your snowmobile’s tunnel is clean and clear. You don’t want any gunk messing up your install.
Line It Up: Position your 509 Mountain or Trail Tunnel Bag on the tunnel. It’s designed to fit like a glove with the Polaris Lock & Ride Flex system. NOT RECOMENDED FOR NON POLARIS LOCK N RIDE SLEDS. Modifications to fit skidoo and other models are not recommended and have the potential to leak.
Slide in the T-Slot Bolts: Insert those T-slot bolts into the slots on your tunnel. Slide them into place so they match up with the mounting holes on your bag.
Secure the Bag: Drop the bag onto the T-slot bolts and secure it with the provided nuts. Make sure the bottom latch clicks into the slot perfectly.
Tighten Up: Grab your wrench and tighten those nuts. Don’t go Hulk on it—just snug enough to keep everything secure.
Final Check: Give the bag a good tug to make sure it’s locked in tight. You don’t want it flying off when you’re tearing through the powder.
And there you have it! Your 509 Mountain or Trail Tunnel Bag is ready to roll. Now, go out there and carve up those mountains with all your gear safely stashed. Ride on! ?️❄️

Ski doo Linq Installation
NOT RECOMENDED FOR NON POLARIS LOCK N RIDE SLEDS. Modifications to fit skidoo and other models are not recommended and have the potential to leak.
We do not recommend using the installation method indicated in the bag's directions, as it pertains to a Ski-Doo LinQ version. Since the packaging of the bags, this installation method is not recommended or encouraged.
Our recommendation is to purchase a tunnel bag that is more suited for your model of sled. For better protection, you might consider using a waterproof cover or liner inside the bag to keep your items dry.

Understanding the Water Resistance of Your Bag
After a thorough review with our Product Design team, we've gathered some important insights about the water resistance of our bags. Here's what you need to know:
Zippers: Water Resistant, Not Waterproof
The zippers on our bags are designed to be water resistant. This means they can withstand light moisture and splashes, but they are not completely waterproof. Under certain conditions, such as heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water, there is a possibility that moisture could seep through the zippers.
Molded Bag Bottom: Waterproof
The molded bottom of the bag, however, is fully waterproof. This ensures that the base of your bag remains dry even when placed on wet surfaces, providing a solid layer of protection for your belongings.
Potential for Moisture Inside the Bag
Despite the waterproof bottom, there is still a chance for moisture to get inside the bag through the zippers. This risk increases depending on temperature conditions and if the bag is left on the sled during commuting to the trailhead or other similar situations.
Recommendations for Better Protection
To enhance the protection of your items, we recommend using a waterproof cover or liner inside the bag. This additional layer can help keep your belongings dry, even if some moisture manages to get through the zippers.
By understanding these details and taking the recommended precautions, you can ensure that your gear stays protected and dry during your adventures.
