Thank you for the response. Based on the chart you showed me, and my model #J150TLCIA, The shaft is 20". Does that make this a Long shaft or Xtra long?

Thank you again

20" is called the short shaft most of the time.. As far as I know that is the shortest lenght available and I think the most desireable.. The 25" shaft is know as a long shaft. The 20" is normally used on fast style hull`s like bass boats,. Ranger, Stratos ,astro,checkmate, baja boats of that design from that picture it looks like you also have a jack plate on the boat also desireable hope it helps just my 2 cents lol have a good one. siempe fi Bill

Hey Thanks, I just learned something also I always thought the 20" was the shortest they made ?? always good to keep an open mind , are they normally the smaller hp motors?? .I have never seen one but I am pretty new to the boating scene but thanks for the info..Bill

Short shaft motors are the norm up to about 18-20hp and can be had up to 35 or 40 I think. Just guessing here. After that 20" is the norm.
