Can someone explain to me in simple English the procedure that I should follow when using the #3156 Mast Stepper III to lower my mast for the winter? I have the instructions and pictures from the dealer showing how to raise the mast, but reversing the process in my mind is difficult to grasp. Thanks. |

Where do you have your boat? It's a little hard to explain, but easy to demonstrate. |

Never mind. I figured it out myself. My wife cranked the winch on the trailer, slowly lowering the mast, while I stood nearby holding a safety line which I had rigged on a block and tackle attached atop the garage. Piece of cake. |

Glad to hear you got her down. I take mine down by myself with out any trouble. If everything is in place you will be fine without the safety line. Kinda hard to find a garage out at the dock! |
