I suspected as much. I thought the fit would be too tight if you intake and outtake were to be on the top. this is my preference. Thanks for the response.

I seem to remember trying the 5022 initially, but after making a full-sized 
cardboard tempalate of the tank, discarded it because it was too big.

Last summer I started working on putting together a group purchase in 
the Annapolis area for holding tanks.  I was trying to get Kracor 5057s 
through Fawcett's in Annapolis because that's what Mike Lehman had done 
a few years back.  I called and spoke to someone at Fawcett's - they had 
some recollection of the last group purchase but said that they no 
longer sell Kracor stuff.  He told me that he might be able to work 
something out and would call me back - unfortunately he never called me 
back and I haven't followed up since. 
I'm going to get back on that with the hopes of getting everything 
figured out in time to be up and running with a new tank before the warm 
weather comes back.  I guess I'll start by calling back to Fawcett's. 
Checking my past emails I see that Mike Lehman definitely used the 5057 
model and got a group rate of $105.60 back in March of '97.  I'm not 
sure how many were in the group though.  I think Mike has pictures of 
his tank installation.  Also, there are issues with whether or not you 
have an older or newer boat. 
The archives of this list from early last September should have a lot of 
posts on this topic. 
If you're in the Annapolis area let me know and I'll keep you posted on 
my group purchase progress. 
Good luck,

I am new Alberg 30 and am in search of a holding tank for my boat. I 
have reviewed the materials from last year on this topic and would like 
to share my experience so far on this matter. 
1. The information in the Alberg 30 Maintenance Manual appears to be 
confused when compared with the current Kracor catalogue. 
The catalogue says that mold 5057 holds 15.5 gallons or 58.8 liters. 
Mold 5022 holds 17 gallons or 64.4 liters 
It looks like the manual writers wanted to say that 5022 will fit in the 
Alberg 30. They just got the capacity wrong. 
I make a template (not a full scale mock up) for both and it appears 
that both will fit. 
2. Kracor as advertized is expensive for a one of a kind basis. Their 
price was in the $380.00 range. 
3. Sealand tanks are available for through Northeast Marine Sanitation. 
They have the equivalent of the Kracor 5057 (15 gallons) for $235.00. If 
you want the outlet on the top the price goes up to $281.43 and with 
shipping to about $294.00 
4. Ronco does not seem to make a tank that will fit in the port side of 
the boat. They do make a bow tank B102 HD which will go in the bow but 
might require some modification of the bulkhead to make it fit. 
Delivered with the fittings where you like for about $100. The capacity 
is 13 gallons. 
5. Raritan makes the equivalent of the Kracor 5057 (15 gallons). The 
walls are 3/8 like Sealand so it might hold a little less. Raritan rates 
it at 14 gallons. The model number is 14d208014. the price with the 
fittings where I want them is $176.00  I have to purchase the elbows, 
etc. They also sell the equivalent of the Ronco B102 for the bow of the 
boat for $172.00. 
6. If you purchase the Raritan tank through defender you can save 
another 15 % and te
