The SuperATV Can-Am Defender HD9 Depth Finder Snorkel Kit raises the engine air intake by more than 2 feet, helping keep water out when your Defender HD9 charges into deep mud and water. Three risers route between the cab and dump bed, and check valves on the factory vent lines add another layer of protection.
High-pressure 2-inch coil hoses resist punctures and hold an airtight seal, and all brackets, hardware, connectors, bellows and full-color instructions are included. The system works with a rear windshield (not glass) and does not interfere with normal dump-bed use. Order the version for machines with or without OEM HVAC. It is a smart add-on if your HD9 already rides higher on a lift kit or portals.
