I'm recommissioning my 2004 C250 and can't located the Loos Gauge settings to use to tune the standing rigging. I will be sailing out of the Everett, WA marina. Any recommendations on tension settings? Thanks

I have a Loos PT-1 gauge but don't tune to any specific settings. I do it "by feel" as described in multiple threads here, and then use the Loos gauge to ensure I'm not over-tensioning anything.

I used the information above to sucessfully tune the shrouds on our boat. Maybe you can too. CS

PS
Also you should know that delrin is hygroscopic(absorbs water).. The puck inside early CDI furlers was delrin.
