Default experience with water tank bladders?

Hi, my small coastal cruiser came with a large plastic bladder that
looks like it might hold 25 gallons. Has anyone used something like
this? How did you install it? It has eyelets so it gets slung like a
hammock somewhere? Does it slosh? Should I put in a solid tank? I'm
going to try living aboard. Thanks as always.


======================================

I had a bladder tank on one of my old sailboats and it worked fine.
That said, they must be protected from chafing and sharp objects.

Do not try to sling it like a hammock. The eyelets are there so you
can secure it from sliding around.
