Triton water storage tank.

[Jeff Bing]

Does anyone make a direct replacement poly water storage tank
for a Triton under the v berth?
If not where can i buy sheet fiberglass to make one.

Thanks

Jeff,

I don't know if these are what you are looking for, but I listed in the classified section a couple of tanks that I bought and never used for my past Triton project. These are still for sale. The tanks are the same ones that were used on Triton 577, and detailed on the NTA website:

The starboard water tank is around 20 gallons. I have retained the center rectangular water tank for use on my Tartan 34C, but if you were interested in all three, I might sell them it with the other two.

Thanks Joe but I'm looking for the short triangle one for in the center only.

Thanks for your help.

A direct replacement tank for the Triton V-berth tank doesn't exist.

Most people find alternatives that work for them in plastic such as Joe has suggested. Another alternative is to have a custom tank made out of plastic or stainless steel. I think fabricating a fiberglass tank from pre-made fiberglass sheets would be a heavy and expensive option.

Thanks for your help.

Jeff,

I have researched up and down the websites for a off the shelf v-berth water tank for my Triton as well. Ronco Plastics make a couple that could fit but not ideal. The two I thought are closest are B126 (30gal) and B125 (16gal). Another forum member, an Cape Dory 36 owner, used B126 for holding tank in his v-berth.

As Britton pointed out another option is to go with a custom built tank which fits the Triton perfectly. Britton has the dimentions which I am sure he will be happy to share. Could you please keep us posted which route you decide to go and the result of your implementation?

I have installed many Ronco "off the shelf" tanks. When balancing cost with fit they are definitely worthy of consideration. This of course assumes you can find one in the neighborhood of the shape you want.
