[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 165220, member: 1417"] If the transom height is 15" you'll need a short shaft. If the transom height is 20" you'll need a long shaft. Unless your boat has a console with a steering wheel you'll need a tiller motor. There are a number of things relative to the max hp on a boat. I don't think the weight of the motor/strength of the transom is the determining factor. For safety's sake don't exceed the max hp rating on the boat. [/QUOTE]
