Your adjustments seem pretty well thought out. I agree that you wouldn't want to overflow into the back seat!

I originally had the tank in my Ascend kayak and letting the water drain into the back of the kayak was not a good them. the scuppers wouldn't drain fast enough to keep up and the water would start building up in the back of the yak making it real heavy. This way most of the water goes overboard and I don't have that extra weight to paddle around. It works good on the P2T also. I was amazed at how well the sardines stayed alive the other day. I think I must have started out with at least 50 in there and only a few were dead at the end of the day. I bought this tank from a BWE member who had it advertised on the sale portion of the page.
