New holding tank

[MIke245]

I have called Ronco Plastics regarding a new holding tank for my 1994 Legend 37.5. I am wondering if anyone has used this company and if you could remember the model number or tank number that was purchased. I have checked out the ronco website and can't seem to locate a similar sized tank on the site which matches my measurements

Mike: What are the measurements of your existing tank?

Remember that their tanks do NOT have any fittings when you determine LWH. They place the fittings where ever you need them.

B227?

Mike, here's another thread covering this topic from the archives. It comes up periodically. The Ronco tank that I used in 2003 is the model B227, a 20-gallon tank, that was the closest in dimensions to the old tank put in by Hunter (a 25-gallon tank). Ronco may have introduced other models since then. Ronco is an excellent company and easy to work with. If you go custom to replicate the original tank more precisely, go with TripleM Plastics. C. C. Tech, the company mentioned in my old article, no longer does this custom work.

The online store at this site is now a dealer for Ronco Plastics http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detail.htm?group=1250, and they discount Ronco's already low prices...so find the tank that fits your space in the Ronco catalog, then call Dave to order it. You'll also want to get your hose and fittings from sbo.com In fact, you should just bookmark the plumbing page sbo.com plumbing

While you're at it why not put as large a tank as will fit in the space. I replaced the stock 12 gallon tank on my 35.5 with a 30 gallon from Ronco. It fits in the the exact same place as the original but has 2 1/2 times the capacity. Hunter grossly undersized the tank for the space available.
