[C320-list] Support of the c320 on its keel

[Jeff Church]

After having installed my MaxProp 3 times, I would not recommend having a 
diver attempt it. The shaft has to be cut to the correct length, and there 
are too many small parts that have to be installed and aligned correctly. On 
land the job can probably be done in less than an hour while the boat hangs 
in a sling.
