Mercury 5 hp Shaft length Question

[oldgeezeer2]

What shaft length do I need to mount on a Tracker ProGuide V16 next to my Mercury 50 hp? 15", 20" or 24".
Thanks

Got a tape measure?? Measure the transom where the kicker is going to sit, and select the closest motor length. If it is way too high, it will ventilate (suck air) if you try to run it at any speed.

Thanks for the reply. Measured 21" so a 20" will work.
