Minimum 20º, maximum 30º over horizontal if mounted to a hard/soft top. If mounted closer to the eyebrow, you'd go as much a 45º.

I'd agree with you Wayne. It's gotta be tough to access and clip a line into it in it's current position. Too far down from the tower station, and a big reach from the bridge.
I'd think 45˚ or a bit steeper in it's current mounted position would do it...
I don't know what the world may want,
But a good stiff drink it surely dont,
Think I'll go and fix myself...a tall one.

What Brewster said.

There's not much difference now than just having a rod in the launcher behind you.

I think if you click on the image you can enlarge it and see the center rigger angle, we had tried to match the mains with the center rigger. Some don't like the look, we went this way to make it useful. Hope it helps
