23.5 centerboard up haul binding

[jeddd]

Hello,
I am in the middle of changing the up haul line on a 23.5 I recently purchased. The unit came out as expected, appears to be original, and seemed to go back in properly. The problem is I can't get the board to swing up as designed. I replaced the line with 7/8 sta-set. I also replaced both stainless pins and the sheave in the centerboard bracket. I used the 2 to 1 purchase and the deck winch and stopped cranking when one of the pulleys exploded.
I need help. What am I missing?

Thank you

Did you pull the centerboard housing out or from the boat. Were there 2 or three holes on the side of the housing? If so, did you use the correct holes for the pins? How many helped you? Could the new line have been caught when inserting the bracket into the housing.
Did you apply duck tape over the pins holes to keep the.
Pins Fromm coming out ?

look under boat information for hunter sailboats. Then pick the hunter 260 and go to downloads. There you will find the information on how to replace the centerboard line applicable to replacing that line. Please respond back. As a former Hunter dealer, I replaced many of those lines

Thank you for responding so quickly. I reviewed the download instructions before starting. I built a cradle for the board to rest in and used an air powered jack to do the work myself. There are only two holes in the bracket. I used the threaded rod to guide the unit in and duct tape to hold the pins in place. The whole bracket fit well into the grooves inside the centerboard trunk. The new line was not pinched. When it wouldn't lift via the lines I was able to push it up with my hand and it just lowered down on its own. I removed the deck plate and the sheave under it was intact and not worn.
The second time I lowered it I used the threaded rod and a nut to drop it about 6 inches. I then removed the board from the bracket at the pin and lowered it another 3 inches with the jack so I could inspect inside the trunk. Everything seems in order, no pinching. I reinstalled everything a second time and had the same problem.
I am at a loss.

Could it be possible that your lifting line is simply too thick? If I’m reading properly, 7/8” line won’t work on my pulleys on our 240. I ordered 10mm line. Just over 3/8”.
