Catalina Capri 18 ann arbor
I'm sitting in the boat trying to decipher the installation instructions for the boom kicker, and I have a question.

Wont the bracket at the bottom of the mast make it a super pain in the butt to raise and lower the mast?
There is no clearance at the base of the mast with the mast down. If you add a bracket there, you won't be able to insert the pin.

What am I missing?
