[QUOTE="russ010, post: 133121, member: 677"] shaft length is measured based on the size of your transom.. my guess is you have a 15" transom, so you would be fine with a 36" shaft. You don't want the motor to go all the way down as far as it will go - measure about 12-14" below the bottom of your boat and put the center of the prop at that depth... less resistance = more power = more speed I've got a 36" and a 42" ... I've got them both at the same depths - go with whichever one you can get the most thrust power for the least money. If you get a battery, you're gonna have to get a battery charger - otherwise you'll be buying a new battery every few trips you go fishing. Get the biggest battery you can afford - like a 29 or 31 series deep cycle. As for the charger, you can get them at Walmart for like $25-$30. For a deep cycle, I would charge it in automatic mode at 2amps. [/QUOTE]
