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.

I'm going to give this a try

I was told by a old school water racer that the best "trick" to keep you belt dry is putting big sponges by your clutches! He never taped his seems or used caulking just old sponges from tile jobs!

Have you guys ever heard of a jet ski

Jetski's sink too (trust me), and sleds are easier to work on.

What's the cleaning process if they do? I've wondered what kind of damage this causes long term in that situation. I'm sure as long as you're on the gas, it's like being in the fluff??

Any chance there is a picture of this

As long as you're in fresh water and not salrwater its not that big of a deal. If you do sink one, there are two big things. First is to make sure to shut the motor down before you go under! At some point you know you're screw and going down. Hit the kill switch and don't hydrolock the motor causing big damage. Second, as soon as gou get it out of the water get it running again. This will get the moisture out of the motor so things don't start rusting as well as supply fresh lube to the internals. Do these two things and sinking one is that bad of a thing. Except if you water log a seat. They can take months to dry out lol.
