Measuring transom angle

Easy way to get your transom angle. Was looking for a way to get my transom angle so I could setup my transducer and found this. To me it is easier than using the plumb bob and ruler method.

How to measure your transom anglePlace a carpenter's square with the long side ( 22 1/2" ) against the keel. When the short side ( 14" ) comes in contact with the transom, take the measurement ( see the sketch below ) between the inside corner of the square and the boat bottom. Each 1/4" is equal to 1 degree in slope of the transom.

Great....thanks

That's good but most boats set in the water on angle .

I use the slime mark on the side of my boat as a starting angle.
