17" transom

[blackdog27]

My duck boat has a 17" transom. Just wondering if I can get away with running a short shaft motor, or will I have to go with a long shaft. Hunting in shallow water, I don't want the motor hanging any lower then it has too. I thought about building up the transom to 20", but don't want to unless I have too. Has anyone else run into this?

yup a short shaft should work just fine.
