I don't recommend you do it. On these models (the '08-'10 Sportman 400HO), the battery is mounted low in the frame and will be under water at any level much above the axle center. There's nowhere to conveniently relocate it and although the stock battery cover seals it somewhat, it's not watertight. - MarkC
Edit: Yes, I know they have AGM (sealed) batteries, but the terminal ends will be underwater and will short out.

I have had my battery under water many times with my other 3 snorkled quads never had an issue. Not worried about the battery.

No. The '08-'10 400HO was built on the mid-size Hawkeye chassis.
