Hello,
I am replacing my current trolling motor and want to get one with the same shaft size since the current shaft is perfect for my boat. With my current motor all the way extended, the length of the shaft from the top of the propeller head to the bottom of the top head is 51-inches.
So, is that a 48-inch shaft? Or, is it a 54-inch shaft?
any ideas? I don't want to take the boat to the lake to determine what size shaft to order.........snow and ice here now.
I think it is about 32 inches from the trolling motor base to the water line. I guess a 54-inch shaft would work, but a 60-inch shaft would too? Any disadvantages to buying a trolling motor with a shaft longer than required?
thanks.
