Pre setting the angle is great.
What I have found works great if you don't have the pre set angle is to
remove the sextant scope and line up the sight.
You will find it very easy to get the angle close. Drop in the scope again
to fine tune.
On a small boat that is pitching a fair bit, you may find not using the
scope actually is better.
I think you would be surprised at how reasonable a sight you can take
with no scope at all.
