[Rhodes22-list] motor lift/shaft question

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Hi Jose:
     I don't believe that a short shaft ob motor will serve you.  I do think that the 4 hp would get you through calm waters or going with the tide. But that short shaft will not do you well. I have the manual lift, and maybe there is something about the power model that would commend it for a short shaft, but I don't think so.

For those of you who have the electric motor lift installed by Stan, does
anybody remember or can easily find out what the approximate distance is
from the top of the motor bracket to the water line? I would measure it
myself but I can't get to the boat for a few days. My question really is
whether a motor with a 15'' short shaft would have the propeller inside the
water - sufficiently to move the boat, even if it is not ideal.My 9.9 HP
motor with 20'' shaft is being serviced and I'm being offered a temporary 4
HP replacement, which I believe has a short shaft. Is this going to be
useless?Thanks!José
