This happens to be about a 15 hp 2-stroke Merc, but would apply to all outboards I assume.
I know that one typically buys a shaft length because of the transom height of their boat. But what is the disadvantage, if any, of putting a 20" (long shaft) engine on a boat with a 15" transom?
Are there are issues other than having more shaft below the bottom of the boat?
Any help or advice would be most appreciated,
Mike
