The trick is to install a layer of that plastic rollable chicken fencing (mine is the dark green stuff, a grid about 0.75 cm between between centres) between the flexible tank and what it is sitting in. This will provide a slight gap outside the flexible tank,so any condensation will fall to the bottom of the enclosure. It also protects the flexible tank from abrading against the enclosure. Naturally, you need to have a drain hole in the bottom of the enclosure (into the bilge will usually be fine, as the volume of condensate will be quite small), but since in the enquirer's case the enclose is a tank that was leaking anyway ...
