Same problem on my 36. Many leaking cracks. No reason to believe that welding them would not just result in new ones. Probably will try it anyway, but no confidence long term. Low molecular weight polyethylene. Space is narrow, long, and triangular. Not found a bladder tank that would be a good fit. Seems to me that an over large tank folded into the space would be a recipe for failure due to abrasion. Did Kracor give any guidance on their price?

They are vee-bottom four sided tanks with recesses in the top where stiffeners under the cover plate fit. I tried plastic welding but the results were questionable in terms of reliability. The manufacturer, Kracor, says new ones can be made to order in 3-4 weeks if I contact a local boat yard to place the order. This sounds expensive and cumbersome. What are my other options? Is it easy to contact a local tank company and have a tank copied at a competitive cost and reasonable lead-time? -- Tim Rutherford Chamamé C&C 36' - #244 tim.rutherford.m...@gmail.com 813 748 4888 cel/text _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
