Okay made the decision, almost... Long vs. Extra-long? XL puts another
15cm of shaft body into the water. This is negligible in terms of added
drag, yes? The motor is to be used as an auxiliary drive out through a
well in the stern, aft of the rudder. XL would also reduce the frequency
of the prop coming out of the water if the boat starts hobby-horsing,
although we don't get that kind of wave condition in northern Georgian Bay
that often. With the thrust point that much lower should I consider an
increase/decrease in squat effect under hard power?
Thoughts? Opinions?
