60% full? 75%?
I usually eyeball it but didnt know if there was a general rule of thumb

2 inches above the crawfish, a lot less than most people, keeps the seasoning from being diluted
Also try bringing your water to a rolling boil before adding the seasoning then immediately add crawfish, keeps from loosing your seasoning in the steam

Near the 4th hole, which in my pot is less than half.

If there's not enough water when you drop them you can always add right away. Won't hurt.

Fifth ring on my basket. I want water to cover the crawfish when I cut the fire.

Fill it up to the top of the knot on my paddle

Only enough to ALMOST cover the crawfish.
Seen too many people dilute their seasoning by filling up the pot.
"I added THIS MUCH seasoning"
Yea. with way too much water.

10 gallons....is exactly perfect for a sack. I measured it once, scratched a notch in my pot and no more guesswork. Water is just enough to cover the crawfish when dumped in.....no wasted seasoning.
