trailcraft deck wash placement
Submitted by Simo_ on Tue, 2016-03-01 07:02
Hi Guys, Just looking for some advice on deckwash placement, currently it is in the hatch with the batteries. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on a better place to put it on a trailcraft.
Cheers

Hi simo. I have mine under
Hi simo. I have mine under the gunnel on the shelf next to the battery box on the transom. Im sure our boats have similar transoms. Theres not many other places to mount them. I can text you a pic if you like.

..
is there an issue where it currently is? I have a 570 Trailblazer and no issues with the twin batteries in the same hatch. Is yours leaking ?

Yeah something went wrong
Yeah something went wrong and water went on the batteries. Although I didn't have a problem for years.

Check the Y connection
I had a similar issue which was caused by a cracked Y connection. The crack wasn't visible from the hatch area. When under running conditions it would spray fine mist of salt water over the batteries. Suggest you remove and check the y connector for any small cracks and replace it especially if you see any external salt build up. Good idea to flush it with fresh water every now and then to prevent any internal salt build up which will cause corrosion and eventual weakening. Hope it helps
