Shower install - 1999 X-star

So I want to install a shower this year.

I plan on mounting on the rear transom so I don't have to open the hatch once the temp is set.

Which one of these do I want the straight or the 45 degree?

My transom has a bit of an angle to it and I can post pics if needed. Heatercraft doesn't really have specific images of each piece but I will try to contact them for a pic / more info.

OR

602SC (Complete 45 Degree Cup Shower with S102 Valve)

From what I can gather, I think I want the 45 degree so the hose/handle are not perpendicular to the wall of the transom but rather makes a nice angle pointing downward when its stowed and inside the boat.

hey, i'd post the same question over at mc teamtalk, you're bound to get more help with it.

i have a similar hull and am curious to see how this ends up working out for you. i've wanted a shower for a while, but will likely opt for installing the mixers inside the locker for aesthetic purposes.

Yeah, I'm installing the mixers inside the engine compartment too. I just wanted the handle stowed outside because I have the one piece engine hatch and its kind of a pain to open all the time.

I called heatercraft and they advised the 45 degree cup as I expected. The other one is more for a horizontal surface.

oh yeah, sorry i forgot about that. good luck with the install.

Anyone have a picture of one of these installed? A shower is something I have wanted to install but have not yet figured out a clean way to do it.
