>>    25 inch shafts are not long enough, because props leave the water when
>>the boat pitches, and at the worst time: such as when heading into the
>>wind, and into the tidal flow at the same time, or just into breaking
>>waves ; consider shaft lengths on transom mounted trolling motors. The
>>limiting factors are cost and weight. Explain to me why one would buy a
>>15 inch shaft motor, and use it, for a rhodes 22.
>>    Many propellers and shafts, and metal thru-hulls are below the
>>waterline 100% of the time; electrolysis is rare, isn't it? To protect
>>your extra long shaft motor from electrolysis (this is the only way to do
>>it) you need to place a watertight protective cover, or boot
>>(bucket-like), over (under?) the propeller and shaft; just be careful not
>>to create a humid, and corrosive environment in the protective cover. In
>>a pinch, place a plastic bag over the shaft/prop area.
>>    How do I test for electrolysis at a given mooring? Place a plastic bag
>>over the prop temporarily, to keep water out; immerse various types of
>>metals over the side of boat overnight and check the next day for
>>corrosion. Am I correct?
