Deadrise Angle for new transducer

Can anyone tell me the deadrise angle for a 2005 Rinker 320 Fiesta Vee. I am changing the transducer and need that measurement for the new one as there are three options available depending on angles. If not I will measure when I make it up to the boat and post for everyone here. (depending on location of transducer I guess it could be different....)

Thanks

    2003 342 is 18 degrees as well. Seems to be a popular design.

    Isn't it right at the transom? Do you have to adjust how it sits? Sorry for the stupid question...just my lack of knowledge..

    @rasbury the hole for the transducer sits right by the front of the engine.  There isn't any adjustment.  Just that there is an arrow on the transducer that you have to make sure is pointed to center of the boat.

    Well, I guess thats what I mean....so is it a setting? I'm wondering if your installing against the floor at an 18 degree angle...and a couple of inches in diameter angled at 18 degrees would be insignificant? I'm sure I'll have to deal with mine at some point...

    @rasbury.  No setting.  It is drilled perpendicular to the hull.  The 18 degrees is manufactured into the transducer.  So you have to be sure to purchase the right one.
