Waste/Water Tanks Recommendations

[steve poulin]

I'm looking to replace both tanks in my CD 27--the 15 gallon triangular waste tank underneath the port settee and the 12 gallon multi-angled water tank in the bow (I discovered after purchase that it had been winterized with ethylene glycol--yep, hoses and sink pump need replacing, too).

The boat's on the hard in East Greenwich RI, and I'm looking at using Ocean Link out of Portsmouth, RI. They're not cheap, but it would eliminate shipping costs, which make more competitively priced online options prohibitive.

Does anyone have experience with Ocean Link? Getting properly shaped tanks has been challenging online--any recommendations there? I am considering a bag for the bow, but am worried about its durability in choppy seas--experiences?

Thank you collective CD mind!

Thanks, Pete. Ronco had better prices, but the cost to ship the tanks from the west to east coasts added nearly $100 per tank. This is the range of the RI outfit, and with them I can bring the old tanks over and get the fittings cut exactly.

You could also Google the specific Ronco tank number and possibly find one nearby.

I had dura-weld in Fla build my tanks. I designed them to fit in the bilge. Made carries templates and exact drawings. Garreth (owner?) welded them from polypropylene plastic. They have internal baffles and inspection ports. I have about 5000nm of offshore sailing in them. No problem. Far superior to rotomolded roncontanks but the do cost more. About 2/3s the cost of SS.
