I just picked up an awesome running f9.9 yamaha with powertrn remote steering for $240.00. I mounted it on my boat a 1974 17 foot reinell and it appears the short shaft motor is going to be too short. The cavitation plate with the motor lowered as far as i can get it sits about 3 inches above the bottom of the boat. Too low? Just wondering what this motor might be worth so i can sell it and get a long shaft? I got a heck of a deal though I thought.

Depending on condition probably 3-5X what you paid for it.

If the tiller handle is still attached I would sell the steering system separately.
I would also sell the powertrim separately if possible.

A 9.9 hp motor set up with remote steering and powertrim is underpowered for most boats so parting everything out make sense to me.
