The "screew" goes thought the block and into the "Donut", sometimes the =

dirt/salt can "gum" up that area.

  Subject: [Rhodes22-list] IMF Problem

  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?
