Long Shaft or Short Shaft

Pat: I've tried both on my 1975 C22 and the long shaft works best. My motor bracket extends up and down far enough so that the short shaft does work but it is more difficult to make adjustments (like shifting into reverse)with our hands and it could get dunked a bit more easily in heavy weather when boat is "seasawing".

what do you have to lose?

i would also suggest the long shaft. as Dick, i also tried a short shaft because i got a good deal on it, but it would come up out of the water when i went forward on the boat. i am always a fan of having more than i should need, and that also applies to the length of shaft of my motor. length DOES count. :)
