Tige RZX - how do I get the water out of the bow storage

[CRJ]

So we upgraded from the 2013 Z3 to the 2016 RZX. Love the front storage, but the water is driving me nuts. this pic is of no less than 4 gallons of water from the weekend and we never buried the front end. this is just kids dripping wet and jumping off the nose. Anyone solved this problem? if I install drain plugs will the water get to the back drain? looking for any suggestions other than a dipping or siphoning it out all the time.

Any idea what is under there? Would hate to see you drill a hole into a hard tank or ballast bag.

That is my concern as well. Might have to look into it as the water killing me

The battery's are located at the FWD part of the observer storage compartment if I remember correctly so that would be just to the AFT of where this locker is. The rear bags on the RZX and ASR start from the back of the boat and run almost but not quite half way down the long bench seat. The bow bags start just after that and run FWD to about the middle of the observer locker (same location on the port side). These compartments used to have soft sided bags in the ASR's for awhile...that compartment is tapered to the center if it were me I would drill a small hole and put a rubber or metal insert and attach a piece of tubing to run it down into the bilge. You could maybe even tie into the cooler storage compartment's drain if you really wanted too I haven't looked at that compartment a ton just going by memory.

There should be a drain up there already.

Pull the Black Dividers out (if you can) and see if there is a drain hole from the factory.

Was a drain plug ever discovered? I’ve encountered similar on my 2016 RZX

They hadn’t put mine in, from the factory. Tige sent me a couple to drill in. I used to keep one of these on the boat, which served a dual purpose, fun in water fights and easy to pump that water out, then I’d just towel dry. The drains are definitely recommended.

I want the drain
Picture?
Did you get the train from Tige or a dealer?
Or do I need to create?

Tige sent it to me. I haven’t pulled them out, but the top looks exactly like what’s in the surf locker. It must go through a couple of layers of something, because it has couple inch long tube hanging from it. Basically it looks like a rubber grommet with a tube coming off the bottom. You drill like a 3/8” or 1/2” hole, and it drops right in. I’ll get a picture of mine for you.

Just get a sucktion machine or you can get container boxes for next time in order to utilize the storage so u can dump the extra water.

The had a rzx with the same issue and I drilled 2 holes one in each side and problem solved .

[VinceRZX3]

Same, but mine actually had holes in them that just needed to be unclogged.
