rustman. I mentioned the Polaris coolers as they are a dime a dozen, can be purchased cheap, fit beutiful (neat and tidy) under the running boards, and the hose routing is up front. I would say off the top of my head, that they would also have enough surface area to disipate heat on the V-4. I didn,t think you were running in deeper snow, as you are usually talking about river runs, so I was wondering if you would have had enough cooling capacity. Cast your eyes on a pair of Polaris coolers if you can to get a look see as to how they would work for you. Hope this helps...Rob.
