[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 456744, member: 7376"] With a 17.5" transom, you need a short shaft. You "could" put a long on a jack plate but then it looks weird and the motor's moved back about 4" which makes the tiller handle "shorter". The transom on mine's a short one and measures 16 7/8" from the top of the transom to the bottom of the keel. I run a 16" (short) motor on it and it works fine. Boat manufacturers are weird about the measurements sometimes. IMO, they should be called "short" or "tall"-and leave it alone. [/QUOTE]
