Re: ABC Sib-Rib Installation Guidelines.-
Weimed, both are 20" shaft engines, first is mounted on a 18" transom, the second on a 16" transom. Usually forum boaters recommend to sell the long and buy a short shaft engine, that could be costly. By adding a false water deflector plates can use long shafts on short to medium height transoms and forget all about unwanted out or over transom water splashes. 2 down issues, bear in mind that you'll be draging a longer tail if boating near shallow beaches and you'll need to make your own WDP as they are not commercially available....
