This may be a stupid question but I was wondering how to tell how long of a motor I need to buy for my boat. I took a measurement on the transum of the boat. From the top of the transum to the bottom of the boat is 21 inches but I don't know if I am measuring from the right spots, and how do I know what length shaft do I need. 15, 20, and 25 inches seem to be standard motor length but how does the relate to the transum, and where do they take this measurement. Any help would be great. Thanks.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
