snowmobile thru the ice

[TRIPSTOWIN]

My polaris xcr 600 broke thru the ice and was in water over the top of the engine but not over the top of the oil fill cap.Anybody know what I should do to it before I try to start it back up?? Thanks

as soon as possible i'd drain all fluids (to be safe, except of course no need to do the anti freeze) crank case has plugs to pull out and pull the spark plugs, put oil in the cylinders 4-5 drops, leave the plugs out and pull it slowly over to disperse the oil, i'd atleast check the gear case but probably change it too then grease all the fittings again and heat up the garage and let it sit and dry out. dont forget to drain the car bowls too.

You should pull the spark plugs, tip it on its side then pull it over until the water stops shooting out of the plug holes then tip it the other way and do the same.

Where did you go thru the ice?

Hopefully you did not let it freeze up. This could crack things. I put my Cat thru two years ago and I did all the above and had it running again in three day's. Since your's is a Polaris i'm not sure what will happen. (LOL)

Just kidding, Hey the good new's is you are O.K.

When i put mine in i had my son on the back. Very scary stuff.

I felt very lucky and learned a lesson the hard way.
