Hi, I'm looking at buying a Supra SA and adding additional ballast. Does anyone know where the front ballast inspection hatches are? I know there is one in the very front of the bow, but there much be one for changing the front pump impellers. Anyone know? Thanks.
In this video, around 3:50 you can see the center round opening for the t-handle drain. Assume that would be the center pump location. There is an opening in the bow too.

I confirmed yesterday the front pumps are in the round hatch and the rears are back in the engine compartment.
On a side note, the reason I'm asking this is I plan on adding additional ballast to the 2021 Supra SA. I rode in one yesterday with an additional 1200 pounds on top of the 3500 standard and it was ridiculously good in terms of surf wake. I think I can get 650 pounds of additional ballast in the bow, plus 300 in leads, then another 1100 in the rears, all integrated into the automated system. I'll report back with any updates.
