P1000m5 Water depth

[zin01]

Hi everyone. I am new to Honda and this will be my first sxs. I am going to pick up a pioneer 1000-5 deluxe on Saturday and while I'm up in Oklahoma the wife and daughter and I are going to hit up a off road park that we have been to before when I had a Jeep. I've been reading about the water in the intake issue and will do a snorkel pretty soon but I'm basically going to leave the dealer and go to the park and play. There is some water crossing at the park and it being brand new I'm not going to go hitting the water fast or anything but what I was curious about was if I slowly wadded in some water how deep could I go before I start taking water in breather tubes or worse the intake. If someone has a pic or could say like up to the seat or headlights or something it would help a lot. I don't want to hurt it but do want to drive and enjoy it. Also about 50% of the park is on the other side of the river. Thanks for your replays and sorry for the long post.

As long as you keep it under the Honda on the grill you should be fine. Don't know exact height. Personally I wouldn't go deeper than the seat. Before you hit the water check your intake connections under the seat. There have been several that were loose.. Including mine.

Will do thank you.

@zin01 if your dealer is like the one I purchased mine at they will review where everything it at when you go to pick up. I would specifically ask them for piece of mind but @GlockMeister advice is the same I would give.

And Congratulations for North West AR. You will love it

You'll be able to easily see when you remove the hood.. just be careful nosing into deep water. And understand that the intake hole is forward facing the radiator. Hence the issue with running thru a puddle at 40mph.

If it gets up to the seat you will have water in the gas tank and sub transmission for sure

Nameplate like everyone else saying is safe no wake and if there's a drop off... Vent lines don't bother me as much as that intake because those things can be cleared out if necessary just be careful and redirect that airflow as soon as possible.
Welcome to the forum!

I would not go deeper than the top of the wheels if is was new and mine. Just me as I don't have deep pockets.

If its not vented or snorkeled then 2 ft. deep and don't go very fast it's like a vacuum cleaner it will suck water up fast.

Thanks all. I will take it easy and try to not go over the tires. At least until I get it snorkeled

Snorkeled AND vented.

Snorkeled AND vented.

Yes sir. I am looking at doing it maybe a little cheaper just need to figure out all the vent places and what size tubing by them all the way up to the roof and put a fuel filter on the top of them.

Just buy the kit... it's $30 and will save you money and time. It has direction with it! Also, the one I bought has the fuel filters with it.

I think sin got his answer. I'd like to add on to his ? Hope he doesn't mind. Anyone who is snorkeled have any deep pics? A lot of people here ride creeks a lot, just curious how the electronics are holding up to continued submersion after all is vented and snorkeled

Zin. Sorry auto correct took over.

It's all good brother that damn autocorrect does some weird stuff. I would love to see some deep pics.

JTW do you know where I could find that kit? That's not a bad price at all. Also I'm trying to look up snorkel builds. I've found a lot of pics of them completed but haven't found a build thread yet. Thanks all. I'll post a pic in a few if I can figure it out.
