Thanks. Kracor is now owned by Yamaha and will only now sell to boat manufacturers and as a result Lewis is no longer a reseller. Tartan has the tooling, trying to track them down.

I spoke with Jennifer. Her direct line is (was) (954) 767-1245. Shipping cost will be lower if you have the tank drop shipped to you.

I ended up adding a new holding tank as well (long story) and fortunately I was able to figure out the model of the OEM Kracor tank. Ronco then used that info and came up with a nearly exact match. So if you can draft a good dimensional drawing, they will likely find a stock mold that will fit. For us it ended up being an 18 gallon tank. I ordered a blank tank and the total cost including shipping to NH was about $340. BTW, I also used Peggy's book as a guide, and used Uniseals for the fittings installed on top of tank. easy peasy.

Make a dimensioned drawing for them. The tank is roto-molded when you order, so you can specify the fittings you want. The original tank under the v-berth on our C&C-33 had the outlet at the bottom of the vee where it had cracked and leaked. We specified a "dip-tube" outlet, so all the fittings (inlet, vent, inspection port, and outlet) are on or near the top. The tank we chose is a very close match to the original and fits the space well. They will also create custom tooling, but IIRC, the price estimate started at $2,000+ > > Cost was a little over $300 for our 18 gallon tank and fittings; UPS shipping from California was almost half that.

I am in the process of replacing the holding tank on our 1979 C&C 36. We bought the boat in 2018 and it had a bladder for a tank under the v. I want to go back to the original configuration of the 24-gallon plastic tank. I visited a sister ship last weekend and after taking all the dimensions, I found the tank on the Kracor website. Kracor no longer sells to the public. Through some marine industry connections, I did find out that Tartan does have the toolings for that tank but said that be prepared to pay a lot for it. As in over $500. Does anyone else know of a source for either a custom tank or something similar to the original?
