Long Shaft or Short Shaft?

[DavidNorcross]

Hello

I am going to remove the console on my boat and want to get rid of the 55 hp that is currently on the boat and get a tiller steer motor. I plan on getting a 15 hp to 25 hp engine. How can I determine if I need to purchase a short shaft or long shaft outboard.

My boat is 14ft

Measure the transom where the motor mounts from the top to the lowest point on the centerline. Should be 15 or 20".

Thank you...I am assuming that 15" is short shaft and 20" long shaft...right?

Thanks
