Pretty much no. Unless you plan on some pretty crazy water crossings!

I was considering it on mine because this time of year we get crazy rain and I don't want to fill up with water.

would it be worth it to put a pvc from where I circled up through my front fender so no water goes in to my transmission(atleast I think that's what it is) because I would go just over that in water

Snorkels are for your air intake. Your air intake should be located under your seat in a box? Im not 100% sure i your models in under the seat. But you will not get water in your transmission unless your tranny seals are leaking and you drive through a river that goes 3/4 the way up your atv. I wouldnt recommend you put a snorkel on your quad. The rain wont hurt it. And you probably wont be able to drive in water that is that high up anyways. I hope this helps.

Sport quads and utility quads are different beasts. Yours is designed to go fast with the least amount of obstacles, while mine goes through everything but a tad slower!

I expect that our quad has a clutch set up simular to the Polaras Scrambler, which I have seen guys add flex pipe to get the vent higher up and more out of the way for water.
