Re: long or short

Too little info, Peter.<br /><br />Measure the height of your transom. Shaft length should match.<br /><br />Good luck.

Re: long or short

sure does matter.. too long & it's too much drag.. an hittin' obsticiles that you'd normally would just go over... <br /><br />too short ... well,,it'll miss the water entirely...
