Charlie,
as you can see in the photo I used a laser light level to find the distance, but as you probably know the line gets somewhat thick the father you get from the source. SO you can add or subtract a 16 th. I got 4" 15/16. Ed Klepis probably has that figure in his notebook. Let me know what other numbers you come up with.
