Does anyone know where I can get a conversion from short shaft 15 Inches, to long shaft 20 inches... Does this really need to be done if I plan to put the motor on a Lund 14 with a 20 inch transom... I have it on my Lowe with a 15 inch transom...
You will need the extension kit, without it, you wouldn't be able to go very fast as the prop would be behind the transom and would cavitate when trying to speed up.
Here is one place you can get them. They may even be here at iboats, but I sure can't find em. You will also need your engine serial number.
Just went out and measured my transom, and it appears to be 16 inch which is odd, and my cavitation plate is two inches below the transom, which makes it and 18 inch shaft.. That doesn't sound right, but will it work work with out the conversion? Also will a
Doel-Finn help?
Well, on my old boat it would be Ok, I don't know if your are familiar with the Lund 14 SSV boats at all, and would an 18 inch to the cavitation plate be ok? Does a Doel-Finn help correct this?
