Nobody havs this issue?

 

The water usualy enters my cab through the doors:rofl3:
I never had the issue that you are talking about.

 

I get water right above my gas pedal as well. I just wear boots.

 

The floor also has sloted drain holes

 

I thought those were "fill" holes

 

Its a very common issue. There's a seam where the two pieces of plastic meet and a hole or two there as well. It will drain out but it comes in faster than it drains most times when you're that deep. Someone mentioned in another post putting silicone on all the seams but that might be more trouble than its worth.
What I do is wear cheap shoes.

 

Is it worth the time? I say yes.

St. Joe was a good test. Dry cab all day for (2) days unlike other rides without it where you need dry shoes and socks all day.

It makes a huge difference.

For the upper large holes, the steering column and brake reservoir, use expanding insulating stuff.

 

Great Photos! Thanks. I sealed mine the same way. It really helped. I also used some High Density Foam up under the dash to seal out dirt and water, so for the most part we stay dry till we go in some deep holes, then it is lift the feet up!

 

Same problem here put the spray foam under the dash made a big difference. But still get alot of water around the hole for the throttle and brake. Dosent bother me much what a ride with out getting wet or dirty lol. I like the silicone Idea I dont get much around my seams but that would definitely help.

 

I have same promblem but on a larger scale.

Cool, now we are talking!! Looks like a good time!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have yours snorkeld??

I have ours done, but not for going deep as some go, if it gets up around my knees I am as deep as I care to go! LOL

 

You can keep plunging across creeks and puddles and hardly any water comes in anymore.

All that muddy water splashing up under the dash electronics is eliminated too if that's important to you.

Even better it is a cheap mod. I had the materials in the shop already.

 

Dielectric grease everything. Polaris doesn't realize there is such. A thing. Id do it even if just regular riding .

 

yes Redguy, just keep in mind that dielectric grease needs to be used properly.

Apply AFTER a connection is made for integrity. Not before. It prevents electricity from conducting. Meaning that if you try to connect anything later, harness, terminal, that has that coating on first you may have big trouble because you need the metal to metal good contact.

I thought that was developed for ignition applications where spark was an issue. Not sure though.


On another note - Up under the dash (new XP) I did cover the open harness ends that are exposed to keep them nice for future.
Namely the Power steering and forgot the others. covered w/ a small sample bag and ziptie. Just felt it was an ounce of prevention and worth a few minutes.

Also the one behind the drivers seat. In the photo you see it outside near the wheel. I have relocated it inside near the battery where there is no mud thrown at it. Two zipties to move it to where it might be safer. You never know.

 

So what to use for the large holes? Black silicone will do the trick on the seam but I'm not sure about the spray insulation. Wouldnt you knock it out when cleaning with a pressure washer? Anyone know where to get some different size rubber grommets you could fit in there and then silicone in?

 

Sweet vid looks like a blast. Dielectric grease is defiantly a major necessity to keep your electrical connections clean and dry. I do all of mine about once a year and its usually still in there. But just to be safe I spray the connections out with electrical cleaner and re grease them.

 

oops i lied. Photo shows where it ended up. Its still out near the mud but maybe a little better protected from rocks and such.
You just wonder why the engineer felt that was a good place for it.

 

Oh and as far as having to worry about the spray foam coming out when you pressure wash it your not going to have to worry about that mine has been in for about a year its been through red clay mud,sand,water, pressure washer, snow, ice, gravel, and its still there.
