I recently accidentally sunk my Sport 400 in a big mudhole out on a trail I'd never ridden before.

And when I say I sunk it... I mean it...

But somehow I was lucky enough to get stuck in a position where all of the vitals stayed above water level....

It stopped with the right rear cocked up, so the exhaust tip stayed above water, and although the front was deeper in, the intake stayed above too.. and although the left front was deepest in, the PVT intake snorkel is located just high enough there that it stayed above also.

It took a while to get it out... but the belt stayed nice and dry with zero problems....... and this machine is 10 years old now.

Just my little testament to the Polaris and the PVT...........

 

I have absoutly no complaints with mine either... 5700 miles and still going strong. I sank mine to the point were the intakes did take in water... I drained them out and kept going

 

That's good stuff....

 

i've had mine to the seat and had no issues, so as you mentioned the intakes are high enough to stay out of the water and i didnt drive into a swamp it was just a 5 ft wide trail. lol.
