Yes, be careful. It want take much for this to happen http://youtu.be/fiIlY16zHyQ?t=2m14s

I might have some pictures coming. The pioneer did great, everyone was impressed. My mode button stopped working though anyone have this happen on a Honda before?

Be careful what pictures you post on here. If your dealer or Honda sees them and can trace them back to you your warranty will be NULL & VOID!!

hey michaelbach did you do anything to your electronics box under the seat when you snorkeled it ? I'm in the process of doing mine now . Any pictures of yours?

I'd like to add that for anybody that takes the occasional plunge the fuel tank breather tube is way to low. for mine I ran a longer piece of tubing up behind the seat back and then curled it back downward. This is easy to do when your changing oil.

I know you talking about a P5. But take a look at my Anouncement with the breather hose for the P700. viewtopic.php?t=1570
This seemed to be a set back for many that gave them trouble after they were sunk.
Easy and simple fix that will prevent the fuel tank from becoming a water siphon.

I ran everything up front and rear diff, fuel tank, and there is a breather on the radiator fan also

michaelbach; how high did you run the breathers ? And did you do anything to your electronics under the seat ? Any die-electric grease or anything? Here's mine that I did tonight . It holds tight . If i put my hand over the tubes it shuts the motor off. And I drove around like this with it mocked up, and I didn't notice any loss of power even on the top end .

 

[michaelbach]

Mine is only a couple inches higher than yours. The breathers up front I just ran them up next to the display under the hood. Ones in the rear I ran then up just as high as my intake. I pulled apart ever electrical connection I could get me hands hon and put dielectric grease on it. And yours looks good!

 

[obenchain1]

Thank you , I put the die-electric grease on the computer connections under the seat . Did you do the lights and everything ?

 

[michaelbach]

I didn't do the light socket itself but I did do the connector in the wire harness. I pretty much just folloowed the harness and where I could take a plug apart I did. Also if you end up riding a lot of water or deep water you might want to take the display apart and silicone it up. I learned the the hard way when I had water over the dash for a good couple seconds and the button on the display stopped working. Took it out got all the water out let it dry and sealed her up, no problems since
