i have a 1998 polaris sportsman 500 4x4
i recently snorkeled it myself and everything is sealed fine nothing leakes. except the clutch cover.around the gasket. does any one have any ideas how to stop thiss
would silicon work. thats what i been hearing

 

Some have siliconed, foamed,etc,BUT is a bear to remove cover to change belts,etc! Have had some customers have good results using heavy grade marine grease in channel and along gasket,plus easier to remove cover,BUT use whatever works best for you! Other mudders should give your their recommendations! Good luck OPT

 

go with the grease

 

where do yall think i get the grese from. like a boat store or something

 

If it's leaking around the clutch cover replace the gasket that seals it. What happens is that it loses it's seal after a while and from removing the cover several times. For what it cost's I would just purchase the oem gasket that goes there and you'll have no more issues unless you remove the cover over and over again. Putting silicone there your going to swear like a trooper when you go to remove it then you gotta clean it all out again before re-installing. OUCH!

 

Any marine grade grease will do. Wallworld, auto parts stores,etc
