Outbaord shaft length?
How do you find the lenght of your outbaord's shaft(20, 25, 30 inch)? Looking to buy a new outboard and I can't seem to figure that one out.
Thanks

What kind of boat do you have will help alot. Most typical boats use a 20" shaft length. This is a standard bass boat fiberglass or alum. Your deeper V style boats like lunds, or lowe roughnecks. They need a 25" shaft length. I would think a 30" would be more on a ocean style boat where the sides are very high above the water line. John boats may use a 15" shaft lenght or 20". Your best bet on know what to use is call the manufacture or a dealer for that brand of boat. They know what each boat requires, hope this helps.
