Last year I replaced all the seals around the clutch housing and used silicone, but I haven't had it in too much water since then. I don't know if it was the seals or if the water gets in the snorkle on the clutch housing.
Sorry, I don't mean to steal the thread, but I figureed this is pretty close to the same topic.
Can you get any gains by modifying the airbox snorkle on a 500HO or is the stock snorkle sufficient for the smaller motor?

I have only had water in my clutch cover once and I was running back and forth threw a creek wide open. Other than that I have had no other problems.

You should be able to get it from your dealer. You can also get it from here. That's where I ordered mine from. It's not installed yet. The part number is 5435932, Duct, Air Inlet, Large. You should also get 5411422 Gasket, Intake (between intake and air box lid) and 5812773 Seal, Foam, Large, Intake (foam seal that goes around the air duct and clutch intake near the gas tank). My stuffs still sitting on my workbench til I have time to work on it. The air intake is large enough to feed your 40mm carb. I've already made the measurements and it should easily outflow the 40mm flatside carb I'm installing.

I just bolted it on, I did get a new gasket but the old one looked good so I reused it and saved the new one. I also reused the foam around the top of the ducts I just slit it where the old one went through and it fits good enough. You will need to move the carb breather and tape up the hole in the clutch breather where its hung. There is just enough room to get the large snorkle up in there.
If you look at this pic (click me) you could open it up a good bit more on the bottom. I didn't want to mess with the carb yet so I left it alone.
Good Luck, Jeff
