Left rear sprng bolt contacting Black Water Tank
Yahoo Message Number: 156255
I had our 2013 31 IB in for 15K service the other day.

The report included the following:

"THE  LEFT REAR SPRING MOUNT PERCH BOLT IS CONTACTING THE BLACK WATER HOLDING  TANK. COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE FUTURE LEAKING OR DAMAGE TO THE TANK."

I took a look a look when I got home, verified the issue, and took several photos. Has anyone seen this before? This this configuration normal for this model?  There  does not appear to be erosion into the tank wall as yet.

Hi Joel & Mary. I looked for some photos, but didn't find any.  Depending on the contact area, it may not be a problem. Is the black water tank  mounted securely where it should be? They have been known to come out of their  mounting brackets, maybe just on one side and be hanging from the plumbing. Does  the perch bolt mounting bracket look bent? Compare it with the corresponding  bolt on the other side. I had two of the four rivets holding the bracket  with the perch bolt break, and the bracket folded up partway. Ford towed it in  under warranty and repaired my '99 TKB for free. it was the forward mount of the  leaf spring on the driver side. Hope this helped. RonB
