    Engine Compartment Divider Pannel

    Any new 2015 or 2016 Z1 or Z3 owners experiencing problems with the engine compartment divider panel "warping" or "flexing" under the pressure of the ballast bags? I am not sure if Tige has fixed the problem any by installing these "reinforcement ribs" to the panels?
    I know Wakemakers.com have a fix out there or DIY aluminum angle material with rounded bolt heads and Teflon nuts.

    '15 Z1 here with no panel reinforcements and they do bow in a lot, but mine also don't touch anything either...

      My 15 Z3 has this problem. I have reinforced the panels and they still pop out at times. It appears that the U-channel that is screwed to the bottom of the boat is not a deep enough groove. The boards popping out have caused one of my bags to tear off of its hanger, so I am about to try for a warranty claim, to get the bag replaced. When the board on my port side pops out, it comes to a stop against the o2 sensor. (not good). Tige claims that they are working on a fix but that has been going on for months. Pretty easy fix: deeper grooved U-channel and support the divider panel boards. How hard is that Tige?
