According to the chart you can download in the file section 100 foot
should be ok but it is close at 102 and 98 foot so make sure your
lenght is accurate not a guess.
I tried 25 foot of 300 ohm twin lead and tried 25 foot of 450 ohm
ladder line,,, ran one side from the "hot" side of the tuner and the
other side to an 8 foot ground rod. I just wanted to try both types
of line and had luck tuning using either set up. Some times I may
have not been able to tune a frequency so I would move up or down the
band a bit and it would tune and then just bring the vfo back to
where I was and it would tune.Thats just what I did.
One thing I wonder is if your ground rod is still ok and has not
corroded apart under ground where it meets the salt water?
I also constructed a 540 foot loop to work 160 meter for field day
and fed it with ladder line as high as I could get it in the air and
I was able to tune everywhere.
Have fun and experiment.

There are some gigantic egos on the list who insist upon
pompous and absolutist declarations or endless nitpicking
but they are outnumbered by well-informed and experienced
folks who really love to help fellow Hams.
There is much to learn and an opportunity to try different
configurations, in theory and in practice, and to bounce
them off list members.
