Trolling Motor?

Question

I have a 14 foot aluminam boat (ordinary looking roboat) and wondering how long the shaft should be for the trolling motor. I am either going to get a 36 or 42 inch shaft. I am going to get a 55t maxxum minn kota. I am puting it on the back of the boat and from the top of the boat to the bottom it is 17 inches long. Thanks

Answer 1

Get the 36 for that size boat- the 42 will stick up too much and will get in the way of your fishing.

Answer 2

36
