I was out at the boat yesterday and took a long hard look at the compression post and it looks like, unless Alachua can tell me otherwise, that I'm raising and lowering the table by "hand" without the help of the internal halyard. There's some sort of removable plate towards the top of the post where the line exits the post over a sheeve. That plate is secured by 6 large stainless screws and 'hopefully' I'll be able to remove them and pull the pulley assembly out to see what's what.
Removing the compression post is a non-issue since, from what both the yard manager and I can tell, I'd have to remove the mast step also and we're talking a hell of a lot a work just to replace one non-critical line. I'm calling Hunter tomorrow and will post their response....
