I have a '97 Ex, 4WD, EB, 4L SOHC engine. The rear differential has a rubber vent hose that heads up towards the upper reaches of the underside of the beast. The open end of the hose currently faces parallel to the ground, as it came from the factory.
Now that I have a SeaDoo, I have to back the trailer into the lake. I'm wondering if there's a chance that the end of the tube can allow water into the differential. due to water splashing, etc.
Does anyone know if there's a fitting, check valve or adapter that can be put on the end of the vent hose that will only allow the passage of air, and block liquids?
It seems like a straightforward thing, as it would prevent any liquids from getting splashed up and into the differential, for example during heavy rain.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dick
