Do many of you like to ride in the water.  I snorkled mine this year and love to ride in the water.  Here is a picture

your not alone, water riding can be very addictive and it's always fun taking the atv where it's not suppose to be taken  ;D



and it's also a good way to clean the mud off, to bad that Geddes mud took a little soaking   ;)

Looks like a machine drowning.  When you snorkel yours do you do just the intake or everything?

I have never been that deep. I have been just about up to the top of the seat.  But am interested in getting in deeper

on manual transmissions all you need to snorkel is the intake but on the belt drives you need 3 snorkels (intake, belt intake, and belt exhaust). i snorkel all the vent lines and dielectric grease all electrical fittings and the spark plug boot.

Stumper, thought you would like the last pic  ;D . it was probably about 10 ft deep there and the balance thing didn't work, but i did drive it 4 miles back to the house!

I just got back from Butte, NE from riding in the Niobrara river.  We rode for 4 days and had a blast.  We made it 10-15 miles of river and along way in between.  We even knee boarded behind our quads.  My buddy hooked up his can am outlander 800 and pulled a few of us at 60mph.  Talk about a rush.  I will get pics posted as soon as I get them.

I wonder what it would take to snorkel a RZR?

Awesome pics Cletus.  Looks like fun.
You're trapped in a room with a ferocious bear, a crazed lion, and a Patriots fan. You have a gun but only two bullets. What do you do?




Shoot the Patriots fan........................twice.
