Hi JJ:
I set mine about 4 inches to starboard and about 2 inches higher that the
ones that hold the rudder. There is enough play in the system so that
nothing bends or warps when the mast is moved aft and the rear bolt is
inserted.
Hope this helps,

trailer down to 10 minutes. One almost universal suggestion was to get a
second set of gudgeons, so I could keep the rudder attached and still use
the mast carrier. Great suggestion by the way!

them right next to the current ones, which would cause the mast to be bent a
little bit to make the crutch, I could angle them a bit to keep the mast on
the centerline while trailering, or I could offset them a bit and use the
bow pulpit to support the front instead of having it lean on the chainplate.
