Re: shaft problems

Welcome to iboats. :) <br /><br />"Shaft length" is very misleading. It actually refers to transom height. 20" is most common and considered "longshaft", 15" is common on older boats and is considered "shortshaft". Extra longshaft fits a 25" transom and I don't think I've ever seen an extra longshaft Force.
