Depending on the architecture of your boat, you will need more or less shaft length so that the propeller is submerged to the right depth. If the propeller is too low, it may bottom out. If the boat’s propeller is too high, it will suck in air and lose performance. The choice between a short or long shaft boat motor is therefore essential.. May 30, 2002. #2. Re: long vs short shaft outboards. Shaft length is measured from the part of the clamp that rests on the top of the transom to the cavitation plate.I believe the cavitation plate should be at least where you indicate.I would think you would run it as deep as is practical.You dont want the powerhead so low waves wash over it.
