I think you should find a valve somewhere to a stop water coming in if you dont want water in and also to release the water when you want to. Find the hose connected to the tank and follow it to find the water inlet

Decks aren't self draining. Your floor would be permanently above waterline.

Just get a fuel tank in there and bobs your uncle

I don't know your boat. Many kill tanks will flood when your not underway and drain when youre motoring. Unless you bung them or turn off the valve. Self draining decks are pretty obvious, the deck must be above waterline and have scuppers. Not that common in smaller boats. The trailcrafts are an exception.
