I am having problems with the IMF jamming when I try to pull the sail out. If 
the block is lowered all the way to the deck, the sail will go out and in 
with no problems. But if I try to raise it to either position (with the pin), 
the sail jams on the way out. I think the pole holding the IMF slips down 
when I move the block off the deck. I have no clue how to go about fixing 
this. Is it easy to take the block off the pole (I know its just screwed on, 
but I'm afraid if I unscrew it, parts will fall to the bottom of the mast and 
I won't know how to put it back together. Any suggestions?
