Just picked up a 1976 Prindle 16 in fantastic shape...but completely disassembled. I am looking at the holes for the previous mast hound, and they do not match up with the new one I picked up. I want to make sure it is mounted in the right place on the mast, and was wondering if anyone had a measurement from the mast base to the bottom of the mast hound...I am sure I will have many other questions to come.
Thanks for your help,

Be sure to plug the unused holes with silicone during assembly.
You want that mast watertight when you capsize.
You might consider plugging them a with rivet as well as silicone.

On my '83 mast it is 225 3/4" from the bottom of the base casting to the bottom of the hound.
I measured same.... 😀
Thanks a lot guys...I appreciate the help. I used to sail an old Alcort Catfish that I fully restored, so this is quite a jump up for me!
