Default Rincon in the Water?

To make a long story short, I had a 2005 Rancher 350 4x4 that got screwed up because I took it in the water (about 3 feet deep) every day. It shorted out most all of the wires and cost me a lot of money to get it fixed. Well, I'm going to buy a 2006 Rincon sometime this week and I was just wondering if I should be afraid of water exposure to my Rincon. I want to take good care of my Rincon but I want to be adventurous and put it to full use too. How will the Rincon react to every day water exposure? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks.

No 4 wheeler will respond well to everyday exposure to water. If you do alot of maintenance, seal it up tight and snorkel it, It'll do as well as any other 4 wheeler.

everyday use in water basically keeps everything from drying out. The wiring corrodes and just get's messed up. If I were you I would stop suberging it everyday and take all connectors apart and put electrical grease on the connectors for those times that you do dunk it
