Bowmount size

[mr marbles]

I am going to purchase a minnkota maxxum pro bow mount what size shaft length would i need to fit a lund 1775 pro v tiller? Im thinking 52or62 inch. What do you guys run?

Can never be too long but can be too short.

That's just about the size of my boat. Get the longer shaft. It doesn't make all that much difference until you get into some heavy chop, and you'll need the length to keep the prop in the water as the bow bounces up and down. That can be the difference between holding the spot in the wind and losing it.

The shaft can be too long for bass fisherman in shallow water. Otherwise, get the longer for the above reason.

If it's too long can't you move it up?

[Bobby Bass]

Yup!

Dang Bass Guys cant figure out how to adjust the length of a trolling motor?

I would rather have extra shaft length above the water than not enough under the water. Yes Im talking fishing.
