That seems odd; I purchased my holding tank directly from Kracor without any issue..I just called them up and ordered...

The tanks are mold number 5060, and model number 75330 (which I presume indicates the location of the vent, fill, and drain fittings. The cracks radiate out from the threaded fitting. The Kracor catalog says the fitting is a 1 ½” straight thread, but my old tanks appear to be tapered pipe thread. Maybe a product change over the past 40 years, but I used Forespar elbows with straight thread when I replumbed the boat a couple of years ago. I am exploring plastic welding to repair the fittings, but I’m not real hopeful it will work. So today I called Kracor to explore buying two new tanks. Kracor tells me they only do manufacturing of tanks for boat manufacturers, suggested I call the manufacturer of my boat. No retail sales to individuals. I explained that C&C was no longer in business, and asked if they could send me to a dealer anywhere on the east coast. Was told they have no dealer network. Help! There have been a number of recommendations to buy a Kracor tank over the years. Has anyone actually bought one? And if you have, where did you purchase the tank?
