kill it!!!
lol
Worst thing to do is to kill it. Instant suck water in my motor. Fortunately the driver was smart enough not to. And you have to love snorkels. :thumbup: |
reminds me of the water crossings at Fordyce :boat: :chilly: minus the perfect 10 entry
really old video though |

Let me just nosedive into this river like a ******* without even trying to see how deep it is.

Those are the tubes at the Badlands. The water from the creek washes out the bottom and occasionally they refill it. Water depth depends on the rain fall. Never done it, but I like watching others try. Crappy picture, but this was after a good rain.

Why would killing it be bad?

Is that the same badlands in indiana ?

Obviously if your motor is running, you don't have much water in it. Common misconception is damage to motor running in water. The damage happens after the motor has died, and its re started without the proper procedure. I have literally drowned out over a hundred times over the years. Its does not have to be a terrible experience. Best example I can give you is this old fellow had a jeep. He said his valves were gummed up. He had me floor the motor while he dumped 5 gallons of water straight down the carb! Thats before I had any experience in the matter. Now if your motor dies because of too much water then so be it. Do NOT try and re start it. Pull it to high ground and remove the spark plugs. Pump all the water out. Drain air box completely. If oil is full of water drain it right away. Install old plugs and carry on. Water will not foul plugs. Your old plugs will be fine. |

Your old plugs will be fine. ^^true. my jeep drank water straight through the airbox at a deep water crossing. it died immediately the water was so deep it was rushing over my lap with no doors. winched it out pulled the wet filter/spark plugs turned it over and it spat out all the water. plugs back in and kept on trekking. changed the oil when I got home and it's been fine ever since |
