Motor

Looking for a small motor to put on my 88 14.2, has a stainless steel piece to mount to but I was wondering if I need a short shaft motor or a long shaft? Can someone please advise?

Thanks

I will bump this for you, I don't know exactly but I think most people are able to use a normal trolling motor. The boat isn't really taller at the waterline than an average fishing boat so you should be fine with a normal length shaft.

Shaft

Thanks, I appreciate the info!! After I made the post I found in the FAQ section the recomendation that a 25" long shft is needed.

I cannot see why as the Transom dose not really sit that high in the back

Thanks

Mine is a short shaft 15, and I have to be sitting next to it or the prop will spin partly out of the water, it works because when I am using it I am sitting there, but If you try to motor into a strong wind to set sails, it can be hard solo as the prop comes out of the water as you move up to the mast. I want to get that U shaped steel bracket mount, I think that moving it down an inch or two into the water would make a big difference.
