I found out today that the spyder is very cool but it's not a seadoo! Want for a small ride and came across some water over the road it was only an inch deep or so, so I want right across. Next one I came across was about 2 inches deep and so I went. Now the next one was deeper and I slowed way down and in I want....I made it half way and it got a foot deep. To late I could not stop so on I want long story short Brp roadside assistance was great! Pulled it apart and cleaned it all up pulled spark plugs cranked it over to get all the water out and she runs good. I will check the oil tomorrow and replace air filter and go for a ride. I got lucky that I did not get hurt and that I did not hurt my spyder so spyders are not seadoo's!!111573111574

Hydro lock is never a good thing that is why I did not try to start it. Tow truck ride home removed all water and got real lucky!

always happens when you let up on the gas. As long as you can keep her bubbling your good till you hit the electrics. Easier to do on a manual...glad it was minor and your duck is back on the road...:roflblack:

This is not a lecture to our first poster. Just food for thought.

When I used to do safety training, we taught that any water deep enough to hide lane markings is too deep for any vehicle to pass through. It's a simple way to avoid the "I think I can make it through" syndrome.

I wouldn't ride it without changing all filters and oil.
