If you ordered more than a couple of months ago, then Kracor was still
in the retail business. They were sold in June, and things have now
changed. It may have even taken a while for the change to happen after
the sale.

I see that I did not specifically say it, but I called the 800 number
listed in the Kracor Catalog on Tuesday morning, and was told that
they only manufacture tanks for boat builders and that they had no
dealer network. 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?

Subject: Stus-List Water Tanks - now source for Kracor Tanks
Long story short: both of the water tanks on my 38 have cracks in
the water fill fitting. 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?
