I have always owned boats and made sure I understand where everything is located as I do all my winterization and normal maintenance. My question is about the below floor ballast on the new ZX model boats. How hard is it to "see" the below floor ballast to know if you have a "leak" or need to do maintenance? Are the below floor ballast soft bags or hard tank? I have watched YOUTUBE videos and I see "NO" pictures of the ballast and how to gain access to the bags. Please post some pictures or a video link if anyone has some. Also, when people do walk around "reviews" of these boats, nobody lifts the floor up to see below these areas for maintenance. Thanks

I haven't torn apart a zx yet but I'm assuming they're the same as the rest of the lineup. In the storage compartments you have access panels which unscrew and give access to the subfloor bags. The rears are pretty easy to access with an opening at the front and back of the bag on rzx models, but the bow is a but harder to access. Doesn't really matter that much as you're only going to look at this if you notice you have a problem.

Does anyone have any pictures of the ballast system on the ZX models? I am interested in the access to the pumps and ballast bags for maintenance. How many fill and drain pumps and what size pumps has Tige gone too on the ZX line-up? Short of going to a dealership an looking, I was hoping for some advice from current owners. I have owned 3 Tige with my latest 2016 Z1. I basically know every inch of the boat. Thank you.Nick
