Sam, make sure that the line leading into the cockpit is under the roller, not coming out on top. Mine was like that for years after the dealer set it up until I noticed the info in the owners manual showing the correct way to run the line.

Sam, here are a couple of threads on the topic:

[url="http://www.catalina-capri-25s.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17830&SearchTerms=centerboard,raising"]Centerboard Raising Mod[/url]

[url="http://www.catalina-capri-25s.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17432&SearchTerms=centerboard,raising"]Centerboard Raising[/url]

I did a search using the term "centerboard raising" in the Catalina 250 forum.
