tanks<BR>Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2002 18:19:29 -0500<BR><BR>Last summer I started
working on putting together a group purchase in<BR>the Annapolis area for
holding tanks. I was trying to get Kracor 5057s<BR>through Fawcett's in
Annapolis because that's what Mike Lehman had done<BR>a few years back. I
called and spoke to someone at Fawcett's - they had<BR>some recollection of the
last group purchase but said that they no<BR>longer sell Kracor stuff. He
told me that he might be able to work<BR>something out and would call me back -
unfortunately he never called me<BR>back and I haven't followed up
since.<BR><BR>I'm going to get back on that with the hopes of getting
everything<BR>figured out in time to be up and running with a new tank before
the warm<BR>weather comes back. I guess I'll start by calling back to
Fawcett's.<BR><BR>Checking my past emails I see that Mike Lehman definitely used
the 5057<BR>model and got a group rate of $105.60 back in March of '97.
I'm not<BR>sure how many were in the group though. I think Mike has
pictures of<BR>his tank installation. Also, there are issues with whether
or not you<BR>have an older or newer boat.<BR><BR>The archives of this list from
early last September should have a lot of<BR>posts on this topic.<BR><BR>If
you're in the Annapolis area let me know and I'll keep you posted on<BR>my group
purchase progress.<BR><BR>Good luck,<BR>Andy Rankin<BR>LinGin

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