Question: how do you keep water off the drive belt?

 

[DM116]

all the pans get siliconed up, and my vents are covered up on the left side. I rode it today and it worked awesome!

Very interested in this as well! I can't skip 100' without washing out the belt on my '12 pro. Steer clear of all water now!

Pictures of the areas you sealed off** is what I meant

 

[DM116]

I will get some for you, but it basically any area that will allow water to come through you try to seal up. I had Mike Taylor build me a set of footwell vents with no vents in them (solid Plastic) to seal the footweels. I made aluminum plates for my running board to block off them. All belly pan pieces are siliconed inside and outside to the bulkhead, I used a SLP nose cone block plate ad siliconed that up to seal the huge hole in the front, Sealed the two holes in the bulkhead. The hood has all left side vents sealed.

Sled worked great! qualified 4th for the Pro Stock final. had a little bad luck in the final and the side panel got dislodged in super rough chop and forced me to pull in early so I finished 6th. A few more hood strap and the Pro will be on the podium in 2 weeks. Here are a few pics

Does the fuel injection get a little cranky when you sink it? Carbs would be pretty easy to get the water out fast, but I could imagine efi is a bit tricky.

We tend to run a lot of open water here all winter. River crossings, to get to the good stuff. Stock, they suck!!! The belly pan seam that is directly under the clutches does not seal up worth a damn. The second your left ski touches the water you start slipping the belt. Pull both clutches off and clean that seam up real well with brake cleaner so that the silicone will stick. Try to work the silicone into the seam to the point it comes out under the sled. Then lay a bead from underneath it as well. Many of our sled we even had to drill a couple more holes to add a couple more rivets to keep it tight. I also added a set of Mike Taylors vent. End of wet belt issues. I also use duct tape to seal off the open holes in the burandt boards or yet take a bath of water coming up through them. Thus caked with ice all up and down your body the rest of the day. Peel the tape off once we get past the end of the river crossings so they shed snow all day. Then usually don't bother to tape them up when I head back to the truck unless its chit cold out.

SO far teh EFu works better than carbs (although I have only sunk once) with carbs you have to drain the float bowl, on the EFI there is nothing to drain. Drain the motor, put fresh gas, and pull the rope. Started first pull.
