Blaster Tray water in storage

[Vumad]

I store my b1 outside. The tray always has water in it. I keep it fully covered with a tarp, elevated about 20 degrees, and i can dry the tray when i park it with a large sponge etc. Every rain, the water fills back up. Storing it inside js not an option.

I know this is going to greatly increase the rate in which my turf fails. What are other b1 owners doing about this? I have considered drilling a 1/8" hole in the low spot in the tray so it drains but i have not done anything with it yet.

Any thoughts or suggestions from longer term owners?

Don't mean to blow holes in your story but you say you cover it with a tarp, yet it still gets water in the footwells when it rains. Is it possible your tarp has holes in it? Only logical explanation I can come up with.

Tarps breathe. They allow fine moisture through.

Its florida. I cover my superjet with an oem cover then a tarp, and if the nose of the trailer is not up the tray will fill up. We recently had, if i recall correctly, 22 straight days of rain.

My turf is in good condition. I just want it to last. Im not sure that if i get an oem style cover that it will still fit when i get the bigger bars i would like.

If you think that water is getting through your tarp go to your local home improvement store and get yourself some visqueen.

I'll give that a shot before drilling any holes. I wouldn't mind the water getting through the tarp, it's really just the sun I'm trying to stop, but the poolin in the tray will become a problem if I ignore it I think.
