it look like it has a long haft? and what does the different shafts do|? I have the RK
The shaft length should be chosen so that the AV plate above the prop is as close to being level with the bottom of the transom as possible .
The straight section between the main part of the leg and the top of the gearcase looks like the 5" spacer that makes a standard shaft into a long shaft
RK-29 makes it a 1967 model.
It will use a 50:1 fuel mix
The Electramatic should use a Type C oil in the gearcase rather than the normal 80W-90 Hi Vis oil
A small or medium sized automotive starter battery should be adequate .The engine has belt a driven generator which should provide power for battery charging.
Look at the topics covered on the Engine FAQs board.
