First post so here goes . . .

Bought a 26' Billfisher and have lifted the bait tank in order to check for moisture and corrosion atop the fuel cell (per surveyors recommendation). There was evidence of moisture as seen through the cut-out for the bait tank light. The moisture appears to be coming from the deck after washdown and not from the inlet or outlet fittings of the bait tank.

My question is: what is the best way to seal the botton of the tank to the deck? Should I use a silicon sealant or replace the original gasket? Everything is dry now and I have replaced both hoses. Many thanks in advance.
