Product Notes
BRP Can-Am Y Fitting 293710115 OEM Powersports ATV UTV Side-by-Side
This single Y fitting carries the BRP part number 293710115, which makes it a straightforward reference for anyone cross-checking a factory parts diagram. The advantage is having one specific OEM component from BRP, rather than a generic fitting. The title does not name the Can-Am or BRP model it fits, so the part number is the fitment key. The condition is new other. The title describes a single Y fitting. If your repair calls for a Y fitting, this is the exact part to take to your parts lookup.
QTY 5 | BRP Can-Am Grommet 705002149 OEM ATV UTV Side-By-Side Seal
If you need more than one grommet, this is the efficient order because it includes five units with the BRP part number 705002149. That makes it a bulk-style option for someone doing multiple seal replacements or wanting spares on hand. The title identifies the grommet as an OEM seal for side-by-side applications, but it doesn't specify the exact model or installation location. As with the other BRP parts, the part number is the main cross-reference. The condition is new other. Because the title includes the quantity, this is the only product in this comparison that bundles multiple parts in one purchase. For five OEM grommets in one buy, this is the clear pick.
CAN-AM BRP OEM Genuine Female Hinge 708302044 for ATV UTV Side-by-Side
This is a female hinge labeled as genuine Can-Am/BRP with the OEM part number 708302044. If the female side of a hinge is what's missing on your BRP/Can-Am machine, this is the component to order. The title gives you the brand and part number, which is enough to compare against a parts breakdown. The limitation is that it only covers the female side, so if you also need the male side, you'll have to source that separately. The product is new other. If your repair already identifies the female hinge by part number, this matches that reference exactly.

That makes it a full-shop reference for someone maintaining or repairing that specific model. The manual is printed and bound, not a factory-bound book, so you get the content in a practical workshop format. If you own a 2017 HDX Crew and want a paper manual, this is the one.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
Choose the BRP Can-Am Y Fitting 293710115 when you need a single Y fitting for a BRP/Can-Am side-by-side. Choose the QTY 5 BRP Can-Am Grommet 705002149 when you want five seals in one order. Choose the CAN-AM BRP OEM Genuine Female Hinge 708302044 when the female hinge is the piece you're missing.
