    Chris;
    I think you have the Mark IV log. It uses a round base with two keyhole
    slots in it and three tabs with screw holes on the outside of the base. I am
    looking for the base to the Walker Cherub Taffrail Log. That base is
    rectangular with a dovetail cut into it for the base of the log and has four
    holes for bolts in the body of the rectangle. The Cherub is about twice the
    size of your MK IV and uses a larger fish. Someone on the list suggested
    Robert White in Boston as a source. I called and am waiting for a call back.
    I asked about your base also. I will let you know.
    Thanks;
    Robert Gainer
