Default Why so complicated?

Is installing a new mooring really as complicated as they made it seem? They dropped in the concrete weight, then went in and flipped it over, then attached a lift bad and moved it where they wanted it to go, then attached the mooring chain to it. I installed my own by dropping the mooring where I wanted it to be with the mooring chain already attached. I did go down in scuba gear afterward, but only to to check that it landed right side up. You would think that if they had a barge just for the purpose they could even skip that part by lowering it in slowly with a crane of some sort. A guess it wouldn't be such a dirty job though, huh?
