Hi All
Looking at all the old threads about installing new tanks and there are some very good discussions. I was hopping someone would have some feed back on what has worked and what has not worked. ... I like the the idea of putting Dry deck under the tank. This will allow the water that enters the compartment to move to the back bottom of the coffin. Then use a self priming bilge pump or a new scupper drain into the aft fish well to get the water out. I personally like to use plugs and bilge pumps rather then relying on self bailing .. Any thoughts ???
I would only use foam on the four corners of the tank for compression buffering. Then drilling out the spots for the tank strap mounts and add some G10 rode plugs to drill out and tap with threads. That would really beef up the grabbing strength of the strap mounts. That covers lift pressure and sloshing pressure. I could also glass in some G10 plates in the floor and add some brackets on the side of the tank to bolt down into the new mounting plates. For added strength.
What about baffles in side of the new tank... Has any one experimented with them to reduce sloshing???
Thanks for any input !!
