Hi All,
Used boat came with Mercury 6hp. Pushes the boat really well, but under certain circumstances it seems too short.
* pulling into a dock, my wife goes to the bow, motor starts sucking air.
* in waves of any size I need to lower the mount until the mount is dragging in the water
I assume I need a “long shaft” motor. I’m not sure how to measure to know what I currently have.
Any motor recommendations? I don’t really want to spend unnecessary money, the motor I have is in great shape.
Thanks,
John
