Bow Mount Trolling Motor SD 217 I/O

[Last Saskatchewan Pirate]

I am awaiting delivery of my SD 217 I/O and was wondering if someone could recommend what shaft length is required for a bow mount electric trolling motor for this boat. From pictures online it appears that the bow sits quite high and I am therefore leaning towards a 60 inch shaft length. Does anyone have any experience with a bow mount on this boat?

Thanks,

I can't say for the SD 217, but I have a FD202GS and I have a 60 inch shaft on my Motor Guide wireless. I'm not sure how much different Hurricane hulls are between models, I wouldn't guess all that much. Mine needs the 60 inch shaft, it works great for me. Hope this gives you an idea.
