Question 2

Is 30 inches a good shaft length for a transom on a 14 foot aluminum boat?

Accepted Answer

The answer to your question depends on several factors including the height of your transom and the draft of your boat.  Measure the draft from the line on the hull and the height of the transom.  Most motors work best at 5"-10" below the water's surface.  You can determine where your prop would be reasonably well with the above measurements and decide whether a 30" shaft is sufficient.  It probably is.  If you intend to take the boat in a large body of water, you'd be better off with a higher-thrust motor.  By the way, so far as I can tell (my NV-36 is mounted on a kayak and the lakes are still frozen), this seems to be quite a good product and I had a very good experience with the seller.  (I also have a Min-kota).  Joseph Ray

Question 3

Can the mounting bracket be adjusted to position it where you want to on the shaft?  Hard to tell by the picture.

Accepted Answer

Hi,
The transom bracket is secured to a mounting position and then the shaft has the ability to be adjusted. There is a height adjustment collar located just above the transom bracket that allows you to position the height of the motor to your application. There is also a directional lock that allows you freely rotate the motor 180 degrees when loose or to lock it in a direction when fully tightened. For additional questions regarding this topic or another, feel free to give us a call at (866) 721-0002! Our hours are Mon-Fri, 8:30am-4:30pm Pacific Standard Time.
