Liability is a big concern. <br /><br />I wish I was blogging more, but since I became unemployed as an an engineer in the summer I've been converting all of the stuff with real meat on it into full-length articles.<br /><br />Hopefully it blogging will pick-up now that sailing season is here.Drew Fryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013965677534522281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399150767029697926.post-27092370792015122022016-03-14T15:44:58.079-04:002016-03-14T15:44:58.079-04:00We've used a ladder every season to install an...We've used a ladder every season to install and remove the radar on our PDQ 36. I agree -- it's a lot less stressful than dangling from a rope!
