[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 476696, member: 24227"] short shaft and long shaft mean different things to different people. Get the shaft length that matches your transom. I have a kicker/backup motor on my boat that has a shaft that's 3" shorter than ideal. It works as a backup but would be awful as a primary motor. Occasionally I use it just to make sure it gets some exercise. If the water is choppy or I go over a wake, the prop gets close enough to the surface that it sucks in air. As I go up and down the motor speeds up and slows down as the prop depth changes. [/QUOTE]
