Bronco Everglades

This may seem like a silly question to ask, but what keeps rain water from getting into the engine via the snorkel? Thank you to all!

Welcome to the everglades family! The snorkel has a nice "plate" that can be moved to the back side of the snorkel for times when your going to potentially get junk in it. Just move that plate to the front, and you're all good. You'll find that it's easy to swap out. I keep mine pulling air from the back during this current season of constant weather. I'll change it around when summer dry times get here.

In East TN the rain can be unpredictable. Is there harm in moving the plate to the front all the time?

@clcook1 I have had mine on the back since October. Not sure if I'll switch it back even during the summer. It doesn't hurt to keep it backwards all year round.

The plates are poorly made and really don't create a seal against the snorkel, so it still allows rain or fine dust to enter the snorkel. The plate needs a rubber or foam seal similar to what you'd use on a speaker, but an aftermarket solution would be better.
