Hi there,
The transom height of our Whaly 310 dinghy is 16.5 inches...will a short shaft OB with a 15 inch shaft length be too short? The dinghy will not need to get on plane, just haul us, our photo gear, and dogs to and from the boat.
Is it "better" to have a slightly shorter OB shaft length than too long?
Dinghy will be under powered with a 5hp, so getting on plane isn't really an issue.
Any downfalls to using a long (20 inch) OB with a 16.5 inch transom height?
Thanks.
