Just bought a Bombard Aerotec 420 which the manufacturer specs a "long" shaft. My dealer says that the yamaha 30 hp "short" sits further down on the boat that other motors and that a 1" modification on the transom will lower it enough? Does this sound right? The aerotec 380 which is 1" 3" shorter, with the same size pontoons calls for a "Short" shaft. Any insight on this appreciated.
