I have a 2017 TXW 175 - Storage leaks like crazy. The rod locker is the only box that stays relatively dry even in a drizzle. Build quality just isn't that great on the storage, but the boat does what I need it to do otherwise. I worked on it to see if I could stop the leaks - caulked the little drain hoses & even tried installing some weather seal, but I like to fish not jack with boats. Solution was to put everything that matters in water tight containers. Use Plano 3700 water tight boxes for all tackle & Plano water tight ammo boxes for everything else. It works fine - can take it out after a good soaker in about 5 min & let the boat dry out. Can have it all back in place in about 5 minutes. Don't need to unpack the water tight bins. However, if you get lazy and don't open everything up to dry out properly, things will get nasty. This process will have to do until I have a Z521c in the garage.
