I used their chart and found the tank which was identical to my existing tank and called them; they quoted a price and I sent them a check; the tank arrived via UPS in about 3-4 weeks;

They suggested that I call the manufacturer of my boat and order the tanks through them. Not having an aftermarket sales network or providing support to owners of existing product just seems so unbelievable that I had to ask the list if anyone has actually ordered from Kracor. Maybe they have two divisions and I am calling the wrong one? The Google search sent me to something like Kracor Rotomolding Inc. And that is where I found the catalog referenced below and got the phone number. Richard, when you bought your replacement tank, how did you place the order?

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?
