http://www.foad.org/~elp/mastraising/ shows how we use the mast raising
system, and has a few comments on dealing with the CDI furler. I think
it will answer your questions.
When doing this singlehanded, attach a bungee cord from the bow pulpit to
the furler drum to prevent the furler from rolling off the deck while the
mast is going up.
