I just had a new poly coated tank made for my '73 23' Mako after discovering some pinholes in my original. I am ready to reinstall it and just had a few questions. I only removed enough foam to pry it out of the hole, but it still has a formed edge left to hold the tank from shifting. Should I simply plop the tank back in put the coffin cover back on and call it a day? Or is there something I should put down under the tank.....and should I re-foam it in?? I also was curious if I need a "marine" sealant to reseal the coffin cover. Can I just use a good silicone caulk? Should I apply a bead, set the cover in and then apply another bead....or just seal it once the cover is in place? I want to make sure this thing stays dry! Does anyone recommend making a coffin drain back towards the bilge? Thanks guys! -Pat
