Hello,
I have a 2.5 meter inflatable boat with a Mercury 4 hp short shaft engine (licensed up to 5 ) In addition I have a Mariner 5 hp long shaft engine and when I sailed with it it seemed that pressure was applied to the transom there were many shifts in contrast to the engine with short shaft. The question is, because the 5 engine has a long shaft, will there be a situation that can damage the transom? The adhesion and connections? Thank you very much.
