How short has the shaft got to be to be classified as a short shaft engine? If someone wants the length of the shaft where does the measurements come from? Top or bottom of prop etc?

I believe the following to be correct

 

SHAFT LENGTH

  • Short 15"
  • Long 20"
  • X Long 25"
  • XX Long 30"

These are the standard measurements from the mounting bracket to the cavitation plate. There is adjustment on the bolt on type engines by using the various mounting holes and lifting the engine. Ideally the cav. plate should be in the range between level with the bottom of the hull and up to 1 inch below.

It all depends on how much you want to spend on a boat. If you don't mind the hard work, you can pick up a sound boat for a couple of hundred now. A few weeks (or months depending how much time you can spend on it) of hard work, new paint and a few updates and a new boat you have.

i have seen a few for a couple of hundred but they need a good paint job and a bit of tlc.

 

if anyone knows one let me know
