SAMIAM, that is exactly how I handled the atv. Took 8 oil changes, running about five minutes between the first few then longer as the oil stayed cleaner.
Mine was the same as Dan's, lights on, middle of the night, from the campsite it was about a 1/4 mile away, the lights were still going, they stayed on until we got it out of the water 1 1/2 hrs or so and shut them off. You are in better shape that you did not have to pull your friend from the water as he was the rider. Tossed him in the Rhino that I was driving and got him to the camp fire and changed into dry cloths, left him with the girls and went back to go fishing. The edge of the hole was over 4" thick. Temp was hovering at about 0, the atv was literally a solid block of ice by the time we got it to a garage for the rest of the night.
Dan, good luck with everything, if you have the opportunity and need to find a home for the tracks, drop a pm.
