Air box lol I would make dang sure the air box is very tight. And the clutch cover is sealed

 

How would a Harley hold up in that same river??
Keep that in mind and you will be fine

 

If it's just a few slow crossings then you'll be fine.
The video below is a fairly stock with no vent or other mods.
This is the deepest water I've been in and I didn't run it more than a few times over the course of 5 days.
If you want to take further precautions then look at the snorkle mods...

 

iv been in over 4 ft of water got some big snorkles and a lift. make sure you seal ur clutch cover and air box could be nasty if not.

 

I have a buddy with a 50" RZR and his belt slips everytime he splashes in water. I think you have to remove the clutches and seal the cover to engine/trans, and that should get you into a couple feet of water. But you need to be aware of where the engine and belt intakes are, and what your limitations are.

 

I mostly wondering what it's capable of stock. Not interested in snorkels as I'll never be that deep

 

Seems some belt covers are sealed better than others......I resealed mine just to be sure.

 

Yet to have a problem with the clutch seals on my 09. Long as all that is good and your airbox is closed tight you can go 2' easy. Look behind the seats at the bed cover in the center. Where it humps out a bit is the location of the factory snorkels. That 2" ledge the bed sits on behind you is the height of them. Stay under that and you'll be ok.

 

( have snorkels on my, and ride until the water reaches my shirt pocket. Then it is time to go into reverse! And ya might not plan to get into a deep hole, but it just some times sneaks up on ya!!! Snorkels will give you piece of mind that you won't drown out the motor. The air box will cause the most damage if your ride injests water into the motor. I moved my air box up above the bed and have no more worries aboyt water crossings.

 

Lol you still wear shirts with pockets??

 

Yup, gotta have a place for my cell phone. And I'm a old fashioned king of guy.

 

How do you properly seal the boxes?

 

How do you seal everything and how hard/technical is it to do also installing snorkels

 

Don't know if this guy is stuck or what but it's a tad deeper than I would go.

 

bump

 

I have 2013 rzr800 and in water up 2 the floor the belt slips. I just found out the seal between the engine and the clutch cover is not good u have 2 reseal it

 

I have 2 inch lift in my 800 and the belt slips in a foot of water or deeper they say u have to reseal the inner clutch cover to the engine and trans

 

Deer, you might as well try it first... your belt cover may be sealed OK. It's a pain to have to remove and reseal the back cover. My 2012 800 seems to be well sealed from the factory but apparently not all are. Two-foot river crossings should be OK on a stock machine. The CVT exhaust port is the weakest link (lowest water entry point) and you can see it under the bed.

Have fun!
