    Busted Livewell

    I hit a wave hard while running across the lake with a full livewell. Upon arriving at my next spot I checked the water level, only to find no water, and my fish lying on the bottom. Luckily my partner is a "Bass Whisperer" and nursed them back. Long story short, the bottom of the starboard livewell split. Does anyone know whether you can seal that with epoxy and have it hold? If not how much is the tub itself? 2009 ZX 225 Everything else is working fine. Any help would be appreciated.

    It should be covered under warranty.

    Had that happen on my 2009 zx200 last year. Had it fixed under warranty. Dealer said that they send you a tub and you have to cut all holes for fittings. Also, I believe the back deck has to be removed to put it in.

    My 2007 recently had the same problem. They wouldn't cover mine under warranty so i ended up spending a small fortune on the repairs. The new tubs didn't cost much but the labor to change them did.
