Submarined my wheeler Help!

My Yamaha Grizzly 660 went into the drink on Sat. After 8 oil changes the oil in now looking like oil. What else should I do to ensure nothing gets wrecked?

After being towed 10 miles by a Honda 350 it was a Humbling experience, OK OK...I am invincible!

Take all the electrical conectors apart and dry them out, put some di-electric greese around the male end and plug them back in.
Also may want to see if you can get some fresh greese in the axle joints,front and rear ends.
Make sure your air cleaner and air box are clean, drain the carb bowls also.
Good luck, Benny

Do the maintenance steps the owner manual states. Yes, change the differential fluids. How far did it go under? Along with Benny's suggestions, maybe squirt some cable lube in the cables.

Thanks for the help! Water was over the seat, before I could get off.I will change the diff oil. Do you know if There is anything I have to do with the Transmission? I drove it last night and it seemed like at low speeds the belt was slipping?

I can't remember if the Griz has a drain plug for the belt housing; probably does and some water's still in there. So, when's the next dunking scheduled....lol

Check/clean your airbox/cleaner good.

Yes there is a drain for the belt case. Kinda hard to find but if I remember right it is in the middle of the case and behind something (foot brake or something like that) Dont forget to drain the pull start case. Sometimes overlooked until you need it and the rope breaks. It should be sealed but ya never know. Don't feel bad a friend of mine sunk one month and a half ago and it only had 30 miles on it frown.gif.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
