Re: Which motor to purchase – if any

[Michael Anfossi]

Johnson looks to be long shaft, others appear to be short. So you should check your transom height because if long, the Merc’s will not work without a lot of effort to make them long shaft motors. The Johnson can be made into short by removing the 5" extension. Water tube and shift shaft can then be cut 5" – will need to source a short driveshaft though
