Re: Motor Length / Transom Length
The measurement of shaft length to transom should be made at the outside edge of the cavitation plate. The proper view from the rear should be as depicted, NOT with the centerline of the cavitation plate even with the lowest point of the hull. Remember, immediately behind the hull the water begins to seek it's level, even on plane, so that at several inches behind the boat, the water's surface is above the lowest point of the hull.
