The small eyehole fairlead,by fwd. bow vent, near bowrail, pulls line down
keeping furler from rising. You can place a tiny block attached to base of
aft bowrail stanchion to pull line around and furler drum down.
I removed indicated eye fairlead to put a Nicro 2000 vent and installed a
tiny block attached to aft end of bowrail stanchion with a couple of plastic
straps and contact cement. This pull drum/line to side and down solving the
problem.

through the opening in the external drum is the thing
keeping it from sliding up and off. Does this help?
