I guess I'll keep an eye out for a Loos rod gauge. We are launching and stepping the mast this week so I'll give it a good inspection and review the condition of the mast step and take lots of photos.
If you can share your values I'd appreciate it, and if I can't find a gauge on eBay I'll break down and buy a new one. We are in a small marina so I'm doubtful if I can find a rod based on at any of the other boats.
