My Dad built them... Find me one in the WEST catalog...
Paul Esterle ----------------------------------- Paul, I avoid West Marine like the plague. It is a good, no great, place to shop when traveling and you really need something and cannot get to a commercial supply house. With the internet one is able to "find" the part needed with relative ease. I stress the word "part" as when one is repairing an item think "part" not brand. Such as and O ring. In most all cases an O ring is an O ring. Off the shelf. Therefore an O ring needed in my Teleflex steering is available at the local hydraulic repair station or even the corner hardware store for a few cents and not dollars from Teleflex. Same with the bladder tanks, as several have posted names of companies that sell them. Now abt the subject at hand. I have been down the tank repair/replacement road. I do not speak from conjecture. I previously made reference to my web page and Tank Cleaning. I have done it and the waste generated is minimal at best. When done right. I researched the use of bladders inside my tanks and I found it to not be an easy nor economical solution. I ended up repairing my steel tanks. This on advice of the professional welder. Replacement with alum fabricated was the next best solution, in MY case. My findings were that a bladder is fine for temp deck use but not INSIDE an old steel tank. YMMV. Again, this is my hands on experience and not conjecture.
