I ask because I’m considering the same issue. My 34 had the same type of tank
you described, and Ronco had a direct replacement. I liked the bottom drain
because the tank empties by gravity in addition to the pump at pump out. I
have been less enamored with the dip tube configuration on my
Also, there is a lot easier access to the tank top for plumbing in our case.
Working room at the bottom of the vee is very restricted.

With the dip-tube, there is no potential source of leak or weakness at the tank
bottom. Any leaks around a fitting would be at the tank top and not under
pressure, so you could caulk. We empty either at the marina pump-out or with
the diaphragm pump where allowed, so it makes no difference
While on this topic, we did you choose the dip-tube over the bottom drain
outlet?

They have ready-made tooling for a lot of different tanks, and will work with
you to find one that fits your need. Make a dimensioned drawing for them. The
tank is roto-molded when you order, so you can specify the fittings you want.

Kracor will no longer sell to individuals. Not even the caps for the tanks. I
had to get them through the firm in Ft. Lauderdale.Sent from Samsung tablet.

When I replaced my holding tank, Kracor told me to go through Lewis Marine
in Fort Lauderdale, FL (800) 327-3792. Kracor is in Milwaukee, WI, and I
didn't want to pay the extra shipping charges (Wisconsin to Florida to
Oregon), so I had them drop ship the tank to me. Total cost, in 2007, for

$500 is not bad for a roto molded tank made to order.

You might want to check tank-depot.com. They sell Ronco tanks, fresh
water and waste holding.

Call Ocean Link in Portsmouth RI and talk to my friend Mike. He can give you a
price for a custom fitted tank. He makes them himself. No idea whether they’re
cheap, but the quality is excellent.

Hello. I am in the process of replacing the holding tank on our 1979 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
