[Public-list] RE: Head Holding tank

Mike
I looked at the Kracor website and Mold 5022 shown in your drawing is listed
as having 17 gallons, not 15. So either Kracor has increased the capacity of
the mold by using thiner materials (the outside dimensions are the same as
in your drawing), or you have 2 more gallons of capacity with which to
surmount unforseen circumstances...see link below

Thanks Mike - this helps a lot - your install looks A1!
The tank I have is in the undersole, and I believe it was factory installed.
The previous owner had glassed over the entire surface and subsequently
caulked all around it; however it leaks and is now beyond repair. I think an
install in the forward berth makes more sense, because it is always better
to be able to see the bilges and I am thinking I will try and copy what you
have done. 

Thanks again and best regards

My boat is hull #505 and I installed a Kracor 14 gallon tank under the 
v-berth on the portside, just in front of the bulkhead. Did your boat have a

factory installed tank, or is the present tank from a previous owner? My 
boat did not have a tank. To see some pictures of the installation go to:

Hope this helps.

Has anyone replaced a waste holding tank recently and if so any tips and
what did you replace with? Thanks
