My front is warped alittle at the corners, but doesn't leak, then again I don't run it under deep water, hard to find here in NM. My rear storage gets water in it every time I wash the machine...its leaking in through the rear cover.

I have a couple of idea's, one is to get a large O-ring to install instead of the quad-ring that they use. I just need to find the O-ring.....

 

Hey Elkbow, look inside of the storage box at the top rear corners... I'll bet that is where it leaks. Push up on the inside rear of the
compartment just inside the door and you'll see what I mean. The silicone is still drying on mine, but I will retest it when I get her
put all back togather.

 

I asked my dealer and he said if you wanted a personal watercraft thats what you should have bought. He added the water should never go higher than the floor boards. I almost pi$$ed my pants laughing so hard. Anyway good luck getting a fix from Polaris.

 

Hey DAN038,


YOU LIKE MY IDEA THAT IS GOOD TO SEE.

MY REAR COMPATMENT IS ALREADY LEAKING AFTER 290 MILES OH WELL I AM GOING TO DO IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT NEXT TIME.



YOU ARE WASTING YOU TIME IF YOU ARE EVEN THINKING ABOUT TRYING TO GET ANYTHING OUT OF A COMPANY (polaris) FOR SOMETING LIKE THIS..

Seanny, sorry, did you already silicone your rear compartment halves togather??? I never read that post if you did, but if son, did you completely dissassemble it to do it??? I finished putting togather mine today, including the new red rack extendors, front brushguard, rear bumper and handguards[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Looks a lot cooler now! Anyways, I can't imagine my rear storage compartment ever leaking again. I filled the groove in the lower half, and applied more inside and out. After it dried overnight it is solid. But I guess time and muddy trails
will tell[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Dan.

 

Just carry extras like a belt and tow rope, etc. and use a different container for dry stuff.

 

DAN 038 ,


SOUNDS LIKE YOU DID IT THE SAME WAY I DID. BUT NEXT TIME I AM GOING TO SCUFF THE HELL OUT IF THE PLASTIC WITH SOME THING ABRASIVE, NEXT TIME I DO IT .( IN THE SUMMER). TO GET THE R.T.V TO BOND BET WITH THE PLASTIC. MINE STARTED LEAKING LIKE TWO WEEKS AGO. OH WELL.

HAVE A GOOD ONE

SEANNY

 

seanny, danno WHY can't Polaris just produce a ONE piece rear box! then the only area that would be subject to leaking would be the door!

i just don't understand Polaris on this one.

 

They just want to sell all of us a lock and ride rear box. heard it doesnt leak at all. 04 and older rear storage boxes dont leak at all. id say theyre going backwards. mine gets wet from the splash of a 3in deep puddle. fills up when i go through a real puddle.

just a suggetion, i leave the drain plugs out and everything acctually stays a little drier.
