The downside to it for my application is that the foam will soak up and become saturated with water. The 1" PVC pipe from the cuddy to the bilge appears to be a plan gone wrong. Water has for years been getting trapped against the bulkhead and rotted the bottom of it out. So I cut the bottom of the bulkhead away, and fiberglassed it to seal the wood from further ater damage. I removed the PVC pipe and water will freeflow from my cuddy to my bilge along the hull bottom. I can't have foam in there or it will get soaked, as well as impede the movement of water.
Maybe I could build a raised shelf and cover it with a shower pan then rest the tank on top of that? But I was thinking more along the lines of installing some 1x4's above and in front/back of the tank to keep it from moving or floating.
