36 mkii - Fin Keel Wedge

Hi all, 
Last season, I didn't do such a great job with the keel blocking and the boat had a pretty noticeable forward slant.  Has anyone built a fixed wedge for a catalina 36mkii fin keel to help set the boat more easily?  If so, could someone share the rise/run?
Thanks, 
Adam

I just stick a 3 inch thick piece of hardwood crossways under the front edge of the keel about a foot back from the front edge when she's getting lowered.  Fixed my issue.
