The quad sat in the water for two days before I could round up the boys and help dig/winch out.
To my suprise the only water infiltration was in the rear diff. Six oil chages later we fianally had it flushed out.
My father in-law and I learned a lesson that day, do not to go in the backcountry with only one mode of transportation.
I now have a snowmobile to ride along with this heavy a$$ tank.
