Yes, I just installed my tank this past weekend. I bought a rubber fatigue mat from Home Depot....borrowed that idea from a post by my neighbor Carl a while back. I then used some rubber hose cut into short lengths to wedge in along the sides Frankly just doing that made it pretty tight and it seemed like it would not move, but......I used some wood similar to what was originally on top of the tank to hold it down from the top and then I put on on the bow end. I left the gap at the bow end of the tank. I will try and post a picture this weekend.

For the removal, it was TOUGH. I spent much time cutting foam away but found the best tool was a long flexible handsaw. Then I set up a 4X4 across the gunwales and used a ratcheting tiedown to break the tank free from the foam (see pics earlier in this thread). Like you mentioned in your other post, the tank actually is slightly longer than the hole. I could lift one end most of the way (this is shown in the pics) out but about an inch would not clear. My neighbor helped and with a crowbar and 3 lb hammer we gradually got it to pop out.
