[Alberg30] Holding tank - group purchase?

[Mike Lehman]

You need a picture of an installation on an older boat. Anyone got one? On 
my boat I was able to cut the line so the tank just fit and then brace it 
with some 2x4's strategically positioned. It would be terrible to have a 
full holding tank break loose under a heavy seaway.

I am interested in how the tanks are secured in the boat.  I have two tanks
(one for more water) not yet installed.  Your picture is helpful.  What do
the tanks rest on?  Is the blocking (outboard) the only thing that resists
lateral movement?
