Help - Aux Battery (Pirahna) Bracket Rubbing against Air Filter box ?

[Colmano Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Colmano]

Just installed a Pirahna tray Aux tray in my 150 V6...Once battery in, I notice the bracket over the top rubs against the air filter box...Anyone else find this ? was there a fix/adjustment required ? - I'm pulling my brains out as we speak...I dont want the bracket to cause any damage to the filter box over rough corrugations, etc...

I understand the instructions did not reccommend for DIY, but fair dinkum...the power steering reservoir relocation was the easy bit !!

Maybe a picture would help?

Hi Mick, thanks for your response...I think I've managed to sort it...Apparently my Aux battery, the Century Marine Pro 620 is 23mm shorter in height than the reccommended Exide ED50 and this makes the difference...The Exide @ 225mm in height allows the hold down bracket to just clear the intake box...I ducked down to Clark rubber and picked up some anti-vibration matting which lifts the height and appears to correct the issue...Too dark now, so the morning light and re-installation will tell...

Thanks for the tip Colmano, I have the same battery and issue but with the ABR Sidewinder tray.

fido,

do you have an issue with the power steering bottle hose rubbing against the radiator, due to the new bottle location?

cheers

No Geoff, it mounts at the rear of the battery tray.
