[QUOTE="wiudavis, post: 87685, member: 1490"] Update. Well the 20 hp Mercury was locked up. We removed the plugs thinking it might be "hydro locked" (I think that is the term) but the rope still wouldn't budge. I then went to the tradin post and bought a Mariner 28 with electric start and throttle cables. I got a heck of a buy on it, but when I picked it up I realized it was a long shaft. Two questions, how hard is it to install a steering console, and two is there any problems with a long shaft motor on a boat with a regular length transom? I realize the motor will be deeper in the water, but what other problems do you face? [/QUOTE]
