Is there any way to lengthen the shaft on a trolling motor? When my prop spins, it is about an inch out of the water. I'd like to lengthen the shaft about three inches. Is it just a tube with the wires run through to the underwater motor? I can't afford a new one at this point.<br />Thanks

Exactly what Minn Kota model do you have, Tim?

If its that short, 3 inches is not enough. It is recommended that the motor be 12 inches under water. You can probably get a new shaft from MinnKota but you'll also have to lengthen the wire harness inside.

It is a factory reconditioned model 35.
