TM Shaft Length
Hey. Since we're looking at getting a boat, we thought we'd better be prepared if the boat we get does not come with a TM like a lot of them we've looked at.
We're looking for a 16-17' Deep-V boat (like the Trackers) What #thrust and shaft length should we be looking at? BB

46-54 pounds of thrust on a bow mount. avoid the 36" shaft ones on a high profile boat like a v hull i use a 46" shaft on my stratos -wich is a v hull-

Thanks Zook, we were looking at a 52" shaft, that wouldn't be too long would it? I was looking at some trolling motors and picked one that I (and the baitmonkey) like, but of course, since my dad's paying for it, he doesn't...
and good news, we may have found a boat. It's a 2001 Tracker 16' Deep-V. We may be going to look at it tomarrow. BB

52" is not too long at all. Thats what we have on our 14' Deep-V and it is perfect.

Zook, explanation?
If it helps, we will probably be taking on Lake Erie also. BB

Zook 52" shaft on the Tracker V's is real common. Especially since they gonna be takin it out on rough water.
