Hull dearise for transducer install

[SWINDLE]

Hello, I have a Mariah FS18 with a mercruiser 3.0 I would like to install a thru hull transducer in my boat (the one that you have to drill a hole) The spec on my boat states the dearise is 18 degrees.

1. Is the entire hull 18 degrees or portions of the hull ???
2. How and where do I measure the deadrise
3. Where is the best place to mount this type of transducer
4. Do I measure the deadrise only at the transducer location

Thanks for your help

Hull deadrise can vary from entry to stern. Generally, when a boat co. refers to deadrise and does not designate, it will be at the stern.
