Stus-List C&C 35 MK 1 bow water tank
Anyone else have a water tank in the bow? Mine is leaking, the bolts through the side of it leak and the wood that holds the internal baffle that the bolts are there for is coming apart. Now I need to get the 120 or so bolts off the top to fix it. Joe Coquina Please show your appreciation for this list and the Photo Album site and help me pay the associated bills.

Hi Joe, It sounds like your tank is an integral part of the hull. Both my LF38 & LF39 and my Sabre have plastic tanks in the bow. When I bought the 38 someone had put in a bladder tank. O removed it and put in a plastic tank. Not horribly difficult.

The tank is in my driveway right now, so I really hope it wasn’t part of the hull! It has a baffle that is a piece of plastic that slides into grooved wood supports. Those supports are bolted through the side of the tank and those bolts now leak. Also 50 years in a water tank has gotten to the wood, it is coming apart. The only way to replace the tank would be a custom build, it is not any standard shape, it is contoured to fit the hull. I am going to replace the wood with stainless angle brackets and this time seal the bolts up!

Joe, what material is your tank? Most tanks I've seen are one piece molded plastic or fiberglass; if it's aluminum, it might be easier to pull it out and replace with a new plastic one...?

It is fiberglass and not a rectangle. The only way to replace it would be a custom-made tank.

We have a tank in the bow of our 37+.

Joe, Touche' does not have a tank in the bow. That area is pretty much open with no structure forward of the V-Berth step other than the anchor locker bulkhead. Suspect the tank is not structural. Touche's water tank was under the aft seat of the dinette forward of the half bulkhead. It may have been similar to your tank. It was fiberglass with a riveted on top. Lots of rivets. I replaced it with a 26 gallon rectangular Plastimo flexible tank in the same location. Very pleased. Easy to remove it every spring and clean it on the dock. You have often espoused flexible tank usage in aircraft. Would you consider a triangular flexible tank in the bow? A sistership here in my marina has a flexible wastewater tank in that location. -- Dennis C.

My 34 had a triangular plastic tank in the bow, which I replaced. Although it was an unusual shape, Ronco had a nearly perfect replacement. https://ronco-plastics.com/product-category/boat-tanks/ From: Dennis C. via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2023 1:29 PM To: Stus-List Cc: Dennis C.

The tank on my 34 was a holding tank; Ronco B486 Ronco has a variety of different shaped tanks. It is time-consuming to look at them all, however. It helps to have a size range, which narrows the search considerably. Matt From: Dennis C. via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2023 1:29 PM To: Stus-List Cc: Dennis C.

The tank is not a triangle, the top is a rectangle and the bottom has angles to match the hull. One compartment forward of that is a small space that would fit a triangle.

Our bow tank was a custom build because it was cheaper than having Kracor set up the jigs to make a new batch. It has no baffles, which means it is held in place by stringers across the top. It also has no bolts to leak, which is good as it is now a black water tank. Unless it's really large, do you need that baffle in there?
