I have ordered a Grizzly 1448. I have yet to order the motor.
The actual shaft length on the Merc short shaft is 15.9 in. and the long shaft is 21.7
The transom is 17.5 in. If I get the short shaft it will be 1.5 in above the transom. If I get the long shaft I can adjust with a mini jacker etc.
My question is what would be better for the boat, motor, prop. Fixed i.5 above transom with the short shaft or use of mini jacker and long shaft with a 4" offset?
Thx
