I'm mounting a gas kicker on my 16 foot StarCraft. The boat requires a long shaft on the main engine, but does it need to have a long shaft kicker motor ?
In the position I would mount the kicker, the transom is shorter. If I lay a straight edge along the bottom of the boat in that off center position, the cavitation plate on a 15" motor is 1" below that line... will that work ok or do I need to look for a long shaft conversion for it ?
