Well, it has come down to cutting my transom down to fit a short shaft motor...I hate to do it but it seems that both of my 40's are junk. I don't have the resources to purchase another long shaft motor and even if I did, seems they are non existent around here. So, anyone here ever cut one down? I know the pros and cons of doing it, just not sure about the process. I've researched it but haven't really found anything I can use, maybe something with pics? I hate to do it but I got to get this boat going.
