Good plan-will have to do something. I am only in fresh water (Great Lakes) so that will also help.

Another thought on the strap, if you want to avoid corrosion issues: I have successfully used high strength zip ties to secure tanks in my boat and camper. I usually keep some on hand with a breaking strength of 400 lbs or so and long enough to handle a small fuel tank. They don't rust, are easy to apply and are inexpensive. If you have to remove the tank, cut the tie and replace.
You can find them all over, but I sometimes get them from an industrial supply house because they publish the breaking strength: McMaster Carr Zip Tie Catalog Page

Took advantage of some nice +5C weather and got the tank installed. Hoses I'll do in spring. The fuel on/off valve is simply sitting on top to remind me to find a better position for it in spring.
Bolted down and secure. (Please don't judge me by the mess in the bottom! ) All lashed down and ready for hoses in spring. The access cut out from galley so tank could slide in. Will make a nice removable insert for it and fresh paint. It's only one more job on the refit list. |

Off topic question--actually 3 of them
What kind of gaskets are on your cockpit locker hatch covers? Know where they could be purchased? Aren't you glad you posted pics? I am!

That's a good question Mary! They were on the boat when I purchased it. I'll have a look this weekend when next I'm there. Memory thinks it's just household weather stripping but we all know how often he's right

Sure looks like the hatch seals on my boat. There is a piece of rubber molding that goes in the groove and sticks up a bit higher than the groove. My boat was built in 1979 and still has the original rubber moldings. They have worked well and sealed totally. The rubber molding needs to be secured with a bit of silicone glue\sealer so it doesn't lift out of the groove when the hatch is opened..
