Try Ronco Plastics at http://ronco-plastics.com . Download the marine tanks
catalog to find an extensive list of tank sizes and shapes. They had the
unique forward holding tank for my C&C 34, and I just replaced a water tank
for my 42 (1976) with an identical tank. They are relatively fast and easy
to work with. The prices aren't bad, but the shipping cost hurts.

Subject: Re: Stus-List A leak in the water system
The water tanks on my C&C36 both leak at cracks that have formed radial to
the inspection ports. 3 out of 4 ports have leaks. Thinking of trying the
hot air plastic welding thing, but I have to wonder how long such repairs
might last. Pretty much nothing sticks to polyethylene, so I know of no
other repair option than welding. The exact tanks used are not listed on any
of the tank supplier sites. There is also a leak somewhere around the hot
water tank, but it is a lot slower and I have not found it yet.
I can hardly wait to test the waste tank.

I noticed recently that my water system has a leak in it somewhere. I don't
use internal water too often, so I'm not sure when or how it started. When I
went to fill the tank yesterday, I noticed that the water level dropped
quickly in the tube and I started getting water in the bilge. I was short on
time, so I didn't have a chance to try to find the source of the problem.
Just thought I'd start by asking whether there's a usual culprit when this
occurs - a place to check first - and if any one has suggestions as to how
best to diagnose where the leak is coming from. I imagine that some of the
water lines might be hard to see or access, and I'm not quite sure where to
start.
Thanks in advance for any advice/help.
