Re: Stus-List Water Tanks - now source for Kracor Tanks

[bushmark4--- via CnC-List]

 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;

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?

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 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?

Re: Stus-List Winter storage of mast

[Randy Stafford via CnC-List]

The mast for my C 30 MK I is about 43’ and weighs probably 200+ pounds.  Two 
guys can lift it (when it’s horizontal) but not for very long and they can’t 
move it very far.

When I bought the boat and moved it to my lake, we built some cradles for the 
mast to lay above the deck and cabin top, on centerline, with the weight off 
the pulpits (slightly visible at 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-NqAxQ6JxFTb294M1Z6N0UtV0U 
).

Last offseason I pulled the mast out and laid it along the boat trailer’s frame 
rail and a stack of blocks by the trailer’s tongue, in the boatyard.  I moved 
it there on a separate long flatbed trailer, and my crew and I lifted it off 
the flatbed and laid it on the blocks.

This spring the flatbed wasn’t available, so we built some 2x4 trestles off the 
starboard side of the boat trailer, U-bolted to the bunk supports, and 
transported mast and boat to the gin pole at the same time.  I have a 38’ 
trailer so we were able to do that with minimal overhang on each end.

This coming offseason I’ll pull the mast again, and transport it the same way 
to the boatyard, and probably put it on blocks so it’s out of the way for hull 
painting.  Drainage is a good idea.

Cheers,
Randy Stafford

Re: Stus-List horn

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

I too have a canister horn but I am having the mast refit this winter and
have already asked the yard to start specing out a howler and horn (I
assume they can be combined).  I have suggested that it be mounted on the
mast under my radar.

Re: Stus-List horn

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

Almost same thing here. I have a 4-cup holder attached to the binnacle in front 
of the pedestal. One drink position is for the horn. When we are in the fairway 
my wife holds it in her hands.

Not a funny question. A horn handy to your reach could save you from a nasty

Re: Stus-List Water Tanks - now source for Kracor Tanks

Stus-List C 35 MkII Boom

[Maurice Doucette via CnC-List]

I have a 1974 C 35 MkII located in North Vancouver, B.C. and am looking
for a used boom (13.5') which is fairly good condition. I have tried looking
in local shipyards and online but to no avail. 

If anyone knows of one, please let me know. I don't mind having it shipped
as long as it doesn't cost a whole lot.

Talking about preventing freezing – make sure that your spreaders are draining 
water (open end down). The natural thing is to hand them with the open end up, 
but this is the wrong way.

Re: Stus-List Winter storage of mast

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

The new furler owners manuals often advise supporting the furler in a
manner that will facilitate draining to prevent freeze damage to the
extrusion.  I think this is probably also a good practice for the mast.  I
think you are going to be surprised how heavy the mast is, I would be
uncomfortable putting that much weight on the pulpits.  Build a wooden
cradle that sits on the boat and braces off the toe rail.  Probably need 4
or 5.  Your mast is probably going to be close to 60' length so be careful
how much extends out the front and back.  If you have no mast work to do
you'll probably be able to safely store it and the furler at the boat yard.

Re: Stus-List Winter storage of mast

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

Peter,


I am not sure about the pulpits, but many people store masts on the boat. I 
would support it separately (i.e. on some supports, where the mast can be more 
securely attached) and use a middle support, as well (somewhere around the 
spreaders, probably resting on the mast step, unless your mast is keel stepped).


You may also want to raise it above the deck, so that you have access to the 
cabin (and the cockpit) during the winter.


If you have a winter cover that does not use the mast as support, you may want 
to take it off the boat and support it on three sawhorses.

Make sure that you support the furler properly, especially the drum, as the 
furler is longer than the mast (again, unless you have a keel stepped mast). I 
use a length of a 2x3 that goes into the mast and extends about 1 m, to which i 
tie the furler drum.

Stus-List Fuel Tank Replacement

[robert via CnC-List]

John:

Timely and relevant information from my perspective.   My fuel tank is a 
33 year old aluminum and it has a dedicated fuel return fitting.  I 
looked at the Moeller plastic fuel tanks and decided against it, not for 
the fire safety reason (actually didn't know and/or think about it now 
that you bring it up).  The fittings on the Moeller are all quite 
different from my existing tank.


I called a 'machine shop' here and discussed the fuel tankthey will 
clean, inspect, pressure test, repair, etc. if a repair is needed and 
can be done.  Failing that, they will make me a new tank to the 
identical dimensions and fittings of my existing tank for approx. $400.  
Whether it is the existing tank or new tank, they recommend putting a 
'plastic or similar material' liner on the bottom of the tank where it 
sits on the wooden platform to protect the tank from corrosion.


Either way, I like the idea that when I reinstall a fuel tank, it will 
fit, but more importantly, if it turns out to be a new tank, I will not 
have to adapt the fittings (horizontal infill, fuel line to engine, fuel 
return fitting, etc.)  It may cost more than a new plastic tank, 
however, extra cost is worth the ease of installation for me.


This list is great..really helpful when you don't know, and in this 
case, helpful to confirm your decision(s) were the right one(s) after 
the fact.

“tee” into the vent line a less than ideal solution.


On another note, on inspection to remove the tank on a 34 appears to 
be a really tight fit around the engine and water heater.  Has any 34 
owner actually removed their tank and care to share any tidbits of 
advice??

[William Walker via CnC-List]

John,
 On the fuel return, Moeller does have a fuel level sending unit that is an 
option if you need a fuel return.  It has a built in fuel return and is drop in 
replacement for standard fuel sending unit.  I am not affiliated with Moeller.

Re: Stus-List Fuel Tank Replacement

[William Walker via CnC-List]

John,
  Moeller tanks meet all USCG regs and ABYC, and more.  Fire retardency is in 
the specs.  Hose and hose clamps are also a place to be careful, as hose 
ratings vary widely and wrong hose can take you out of compliance quickly.
  I am not an expert, but having done some research before recently(in 
progress) replacing my metal tank with a Moeller and using only A1  rated hose 
for all lines including vent, I am comfortable that I am in full compliance and 
am safe

Kracor tells me they only do manufacturing of tanks for boat manufacturers,

explained that 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?
