Hi,

I am getting a motor for my CL 16 (an older one # 878) and was hoping you
could help me with a recommendation for the HP and shaft length. I will be
sailing in a area where I will have to motor out for a 1 KM or so before I
can sail. I am currently looking at a 15" shaft between 3 and 4 hp.



Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.

The CL people (Tom ) recommended a 'short shaft' outboard for the CL 14
(and I would presume the CL 16).
The trick is to keep the prop out of the water when sailing. Most short
shafts are 15" to 17"
