I have a garmin 4208 chartplotter and want to install a thru hull transducer i'm not sure which one to buy they mention deadrise angle, any advice would help (I didnot call garmin) trying to avoid the hold time.. THANKS

Call Jim @ BOE. He'll set you up with the proper Airmar transducer you need. As stated above, they now have angled elements within the transducer to compensate for deadrise. Eliminates the old angled fairing blocks.
12/45 degree deadrise? The maximum deadrise on any hull I've ever seen built is 24 degrees- that is considered a true "Deep-V". The deadrise of the hull's entry could be 45 degrees, but that's not what we're talking about.
the 12 / 45 angle you are referring to is the angle of the beam that transducer sends out at the two frequencies that it is operating at. It has nothing to do with deadrise.
yeah i'm starting to get it now, i see the transducers also come pre (angled) so there no need for a fairing block , i'm learning ,:smt038
