Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the 62-inch shaft necessary for offshore boats?
Center consoles and bay boats with higher bows require the 62" shaft to ensure the prop stays submerged during tidal swells or heavy chop, preventing thrust loss and cavitation.
2. How does the Lift-Assist system handle the weight of a 62" motor?
The patented Lift-Assist features a stainless steel, gas-charged spring that carries the weight of the motor for you, making stowing and deploying a breeze regardless of the extra shaft length.
