Snowmobile watercrossing involves crossing water while riding a snowmobile. If the rider hits the water at an adequate speed (5 mph per 150 lb or 12 km/h per 100 kg of weight) and keeps the sled’s throttle open, the track keeps the snowmobile on the surface without sinking. If the rider backs out of the throttle or the sled bogs or floods out, the sled will sink.
Snowmobile watercrossing is a fun activity that can be done with less power, but it is important to avoid splashing water inside the hood. The 550 will work okay for short distances and if you have a small run at it. If you sink the sled, drain the water from the engine and get it running again ASAP. Pull the pipe, pull the plugs, flip the sled, and pull till your arm falls off. Dry everything as good as possible with fresh fuel and plugs.
To skip the snowmobile skipping, stay clear of thin, open water. Weight does not matter for water skipping; torque is the key. There are several ways to do this, such as bigger displacement and tripples. When dropping into the water, you have less than 30 seconds to get out if you want to have any chance.
In summary, snowmobiling on water is a fun activity that requires proper speed, power, and caution. Skipping the water is essential for safety and enjoyment, but it is crucial to avoid accidents and maintain a safe distance from the water.

Belt got wet. Luckily water was only up to belly pan and was able to pull/drive it out.
I got a T570 had it since it was brand new it’s a tulip and it’ll Crosswater like it don’t even exist so it’s not necessarily how big your motor is. I don’t know what makes a good water crossing fly but I know that I cross the water like it didn’t even exist. I had the 1 inch track and I changed it for a Polaris 2 inch crack in it Crosley water a lot better with the bigger track it in original one ply and now it’s got a seven line I’ve lost about 10 miles an hour, but I’m not stop every time I stop now with a little track that they had on here the one why I was what happened I was stuck so just thought I’d share this information. Hope it helps you and cats hate water. That’s why they stay on top.
I heard that belt slippage. Water based lubrication not good here lol, but at least you lucked out with the water being shallow. How did you get the sled to shore? It looks like even if you were able to dry the belt, the water still would hit it, and even then, I can’t believe it was all that shallow?
