ok, well, i finally made it out for a test spin in my new '78
E25 centerboard... board went down no problemo- err, i
just can't seem to raise it back up! i removed the panel
(aft of mast access panel), and am able to manually raise
the board via the rope, maybe 8" or so- (there is no leverage
to do more, and nothing to tie off to)-- the very same
rope runs free up and through the base of the mast, back
to a cleat by the campanionway...
maybe the centerboard needs to be WINCHED back up???
what am i missing here?????
