How about the lever/latch used on a backpack or BC to hold a scuba tank in
place?

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??)
