    Hi stokie,

    First thing what mark RL24 do you have ?

    Now does your boat have a boot top line ? If so you can use that to set the boat up level, just measure the line at the bow and then stern and level the boat up that way.

    Hi Stokie,
    Thanks Dave for teaching me what a boot top line is ( ive always called it a waterline)
    Stokie , wack 2 stakes in the ground at the stern and bow, with the top of the stakes higher than yr waterline ( if no painted line you should be able to see it still)
    Attach a clear flexi plastic tube to the top of 1st stake , run it down to the ground, along to the 2nd stake and fix to the top of it also.
    Fill it with water , but not right to the top .
    Then you will have true level, from gravity, at bow and stern.
    Then of course wind ya jockie wheel up or down to level her
    Cheers Andy

    How about a spirit level on the top of the centreboard case?
