Who could resist just going ahead and driving through this bit of shallow water? Especially when I wanted to get close to the river that runs just a few feet beyond this crossing. And with those concrete pavers in the bottom getting stuck in mud was not going to happen. The water was only about 3" or 4" deep.
I couldn't resist it! So I took 'Nid wading!
Not one of my better ideas! Just after I came back across the engine slowed down, sputtered, and died. I waited a couple of minutes and after several false starts the engine finally fired off on one cylinder, then two, then revved up good. I was OK! :yes:I also dropped one of my gloves in the water and had to come back and wade barefooted to retrieve it! I sure didn't want to ride the rest of the day with soaked boots!
If you're tempted to cross water with your Spyder make sure it's no more than about 4" deep and drive real sloooooooowwww so you don't splash water up onto the engine or electronics. A Sea Doo a Spyder ain't! :lecturef_smilie:
