Tether Switch and Cap for Polaris SKS 800 HO

This tether switch and cap is a safety cut-off assembly that ties into your snowmobile's ignition so the engine dies the instant the lanyard is released.

Overview

This tether switch and cap keeps the safety kill circuit working on the SKS 800 HO by replacing a damaged or intermittent factory unit. The tether switch and cap holds the lanyard pin firmly in place and breaks the ignition connection when the rider separates from the sled. It suits 2017 SKS 800 HO owners who want a dependable safety component at the handlebar.

Good To Know

Q: What does the tether switch actually do? A: It cuts the ignition when the lanyard pin is pulled from the cap, which stops the engine if the rider falls off. A worn cap or sticky plunger can defeat that safety function, so replacement restores it.

Q: Is this a direct fit for the 2017 SKS 800 HO? A: It is designed as a replacement tether switch and cap for that model year and mounting location. Check your connector style and console layout before ordering.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
