Author	Topic:   Pate Tank Install
1982MONTAUK	posted 08-24-2004 11:12 PM ET (US)         I have a Pate 24 under the RPS on my 82 Montauk. My question is, what are people using to secure the tank to the deck, RPS, ETC. Mine is trimmed out with teak 2 X 1 that borders the tank and screwed into the deck. After a while the forces of nature cause the wood to work around, loosening the screws and now you have water penetration. Not to mention if you need to remove the tank. Any suggestions? Thanks, Steve
