Need Help Please Aluminum boat motor question

jonnycraps · Dec-23-2008, 06:52 PM

I have a Honda 9.9 hp long shaft motor for a kicker motor on my 26' fishing boat. Question: I want to know if I can take that motor and use it on a 15' Aluminum freshwater boat for lakes without any problems? The shaft is 20".

Should be no problem.

just stay away from water that is 19" and shallower

You can do just about anything with a 20 inch shaft.

I used to do that all the time. Should be no problems. If the transom of the lake boat is only 15", the motor will spray up a little more water. If it's a 20 inch transom, No problems.
