Right....sorry......I actually was wondering if the cockpit sole...the berth decks ....the cockpit benches....or whatever is a level reference. That way I can easily level the boat fore and aft on the trailer and try and have a reference starting point for mast rake. Rather than using a painted on water line that has been tweaked by PO's. I have new standing rig on the boat and am playing with rake. I reckon I have it too far right now but would like to try the recommended point. If the boat is not level....using the halyard method isn't going to work. Unless I am missing something.....then that would make an even dozen for today. Tim

I do it to find the level of heating oil in my tank, but have not tried it myself on less conductive fiberglass.

Is there an area of the 17 hull that is a known level reference relative to water line? I don't always read all the emails......so if anyone got this one some help would be grand.
