[QUOTE="Zum, post: 213989, member: 349"] Short shaft=15-17"s Long shaft=20-22"s Seeing that you bought a 6hp,I'm thinking your looking just to motor around. It doesn't seem like your thinking top end speed so...that outboard,a few inches below the bottom of the boat won't hurt you to much.Unless your concerned with hitting rocks etc.,you probably fine how it is. Try it how it is,then jack it up with a peice of wood as high as you can and see if it makes any difference. I don't think a 6hp would plane your boat but could be wrong.
