Tried to cross a low water spot in the gator and it was deeper than I thought. Engine stalled and died . What do I need to do?

dry all of the engine electrical wiring, should be good to go. you can also pull the air filter and dry it out if it got water in it, if it did maybe pull the spark plug out and check for water in cylinder (I doubt it has any) and turn engine over w/o the plug in and it will blow any water out. also check the axle differential and see if any water got into the housing thru the vent ( I guess it has one?)

As stated above , pull the spark plug and turn it over, drain engine oil next as well as diff and pull filters for motor and cvt. There should also be a drain plug for the cvt belt housing. Once all fluids are fresh and replace with new spark plug and pray you didn't suck any sand in or you might have issue with cylinder scaring and rings not seated causing low compression and smoke. I have swamped a few rides and had to change fluids multiple times before everything cleaned up. Also every electrical plug you open , pack it with dielictric grease to insure the terminal ends don't begin to rust and help any future water issues. Hope this helps
