Our new to us Polaris Pro XP! First Rip With It In Paradise, MI - 9/2022

First trip to Paradise, MI with our new to us Polaris Pro XP! What a blast! Learned the hard way the clutches were not what the dealer said they were. HAHA.

It's safe to say the Pro XP got water in the belt, it's no coincidence you got stuck in water at that height.
As an owner of the same machine, you should look at the belt exhaust, it's rather low but a fix is available from Dig Rig.

Initially, we thought the same thing, but the belt and clutches were completely dry. Dealer said the clutches were new. But, when we pulled the clutches, they had dried mud and burnt rubber on them. Also, belt box exhaust was clogged with an old shredded belt. Because someone previously flooded it, the surface of the two way bearing had rust on it and would let the sheaves come all the way together. I cleaned up the clutches and put a clutch kit in it. Works perfect now.

Also, it was darn close to the belt box exhaust. And I actually have a dig rig snorkel kit in my garage. About to put it on in a few weeks.
