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?

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.

 That seems odd; I purchased my holding tank directly from Kracor without any 
issue..I just called them up and ordered...

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 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?
