Tony, If you use the 4th lap down (not including the bootstripe one) on center you should be fine as far as your water line. Once I got the boat level, I used a clear hose level all the way around the hull and marked it. It worked fine and Seafrog sits perfectly on her waterline. Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: "E.

I have a new M 17 which I keep in a wet slip. It seems to keep around 2" of water in the cockpit when sitting in the slip. I don't store the motor on the boat nor do I have any stores on the boat. Of course sailing it drains. Is this typical. Also, I put the boat in the water for a short period of time to get a water mark for bottom paint again with no stores on the boat. Once the boat is loaded will that water mark change. I just want to make sure I get the bottom paint on correctly.
Regards,
Tony Reed
