How about nylon webbing with rubber gasket material as chaffing and under
the tank to keep it from slipping?

I just discovered that the poly holding tank in our boat is secured (or was
until the screws pulled out) with galvanized steel strapping. Gawd, the
former owner loved the stuff, it's even holding up the exhaust hose line.

Obviously, I've got to come up with something else. I can think of a
number of alternatives but, if anyone has done something they think worked
particularly well, I'd like to hear about it. I want to be able to get
the tank out easily and not risk abrading it if it shifts around with the
motion.

Actually I installed a poly water tank with galvanized
strapping. It wasn't ideal but didn't offend me too much.
Used neoprene padding under it at the corners.

Nylon webbing does sound good if you can come up with a good
tensioning device (multiple lashings through a sewn eye??)
