Yes but I think I got it right its 19" and the motor I have is a short shaft so its out

Outboards are usually produced in three main lengths - 20, 25 & 30. So if you have a 19" transom then that short shaft ( 20 " ) motor will work just fine. Your main consideration is to have the cavitation plate of the motor as close to the level of the bottom of the hull. Put that puppy on there and take a look.
