---------That would be great (PRO) but I will have to consider
that carefully as there is already so much stuff back there
now (CON). Of course, I have my gas tank on the step above
the ladder. I think I might try installing a piece of that
white pipe on the starboard side at the rear of the rail with
temporary clamps and see how it works.
