Mine was one of the early models, and I put 4 exhaust ports (3/4") in it with tubing to flow the water out over the sides. I also added 4 flairlead cleats on the deck of the boat, and 4 more on the baittank top so I could tie it down tight.

For gasket material, I used high density water tight foam window gasket material like they sell at West Marine. All this really cut down on the water leaking from the baittank.
