Where do you measure from / to when determining short shaft vs long shaft ?

Re: Measuring the Shaft Length

Measure from the transom bracket (the part that sits on the top of the transom, to the antiventilation plate on the lower unit (the plate just above the prop). Short shaft = 15 inches. Long shaft = 20 inches, extra long shaft = 25 inches.

Re: Measuring the Shaft Length

some motors measure a little longer on short shaft motors my nissan is in the late 80s early 90s it measures 18 but is still a short shaft so if it measures over 15 in but not 20 it is a short shaft and so on and so forth
