I suppose I could do either really. I guess if I did the "t" I'd have to run the hose into the motor compartment over the cushions so I'd probably just do the plunger.

Dude that looks almost exactly like the one I built. I borrowed a buddies "real" fake a lake and after using it, I thought I'd just build one.

@Troy. RI emailed the salesman that sold me the boat and he's asked that question to the tech but I haven't heard anything back. I will make a new fake a lake and run it in the driveway just to make sure everything is hooked up. Like you said, the plugs should all be installed as I wasn't given a bag of plugs when I took delivery so I think I'm good there. I'll look thru the manuals you sent me for locations and do a qwik spot check for all of them. We get a short freeze period in Late Jan early Feb. Once that is done I'm gonna run it and learn the systems. I want to make sure the fill and drain timers are set appropriately and then figure out where to put the 500 in lead. and tune the tabs. I'm thinking surf season for me is about to start! Thanks again for your insight!

@Troy. R I still have had very little time to get into the boat with the weather, work and family stuff. I'm wondering if all it would take to dewinterize would be as simple as making sure the motor/v drive fluids are topped off and making sure all the plugs are in. The only time I was able to get into the boat was when I swapped out the damp rid bags and installed the dual bank charger. I did play with the controls a little but that was about it. Until my shop/garage is built this summer the boat is covered with the factory cover and then I have this massive harbor freight tarp over the whole thing with paracord tied every whisch way I could tie....

Very nice Riverguy!!! If I was able to buy new I would have done the same with camel interior. I bought a used (147 hours) '19 ZS232 in Dec. Hope to get her in the water after the "freeze" period here in Washington. Should be soon!!!

I was reading that today actually. 25w-40 seems like it would be a pain in the tush even warmed up.

The factory warranty will transfer over since there was only one owner so I was confident taking it without running it.

Troy I believe I've read somewhere about the recall to switch over to the 5w-30 but I don't recall seeing a brand. I'll keep this in mind for the future. I haven't recieved the owner packet from the dealer yet but I requested info on what products they used for the oil change and impeller. I'm waiting for the weather to get a little better so I can dewinterize and get it in the water to do a self demo. I didn't get to at the dealer because there were other offers on it when I put the deposit on it. So I wanted to get it and worry about running it later.

Thanks Troy!! This exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't sure I'd get a response here. Seems like people are using the Facebook page more. I love the boat and haven't even had it out yet! I've been scheming this purchase for some time now. I'm coming from an 02 Calabria Pro V. So needless to say, I've got a lot to learn. I did all my own maintenance and plan to do what I can with this one. Thanks again!

Not sure how realistic but thought I would come here and see what's available. $86k OTD budget. Washington State TIA
