Stadimeter Problem.

I'm having a hell of a time with distance using the stadimeter.

I know you're supposed to line up the top of the mast of the actual ship with the water line of the ghost ship. However when I do this I'm off on range. For the example: I had a Medium Old Tanker I was ranging on and I put the very tip of the first mast, of the actual ship, on the water line of the ghost ship but it was way off. I had to drop the ghost ship down to the cross member of the first mast to get a correct range.

Should you line up the tip of the mast with the water line of the ghost ship or the horizon water line?

I use O Kane without any problems but would like to use the PK more.

Thanks all.
