I am in the market for a trolling motor for my pontoon boat. After many weeks of searching and study I am leaning towards the Minn Kota Terrova. My delima is I am not sure what lenght shaft to order. It is 29.5 inches from the deck to the bottom of the pontoon (bow). How much shaft do I need to put in the water? Any help with a decision would be great.

Replied in your other post

i had a 52 on mine it was a 65 lb powerdrive pontoon being so bouyant id like to have a little extra under the surface

yea definely a 52 the prop is about 8 plus about 10 to surface thats about 14 30 with about 8 above floor so ,52

hey hacksaw keep checking ebay i had a trolling motor that had props on both ends and it mounted on the rear of the pontoon aerator bracket allowing you with a toggle switch to move the back end left or right ,shure made tying up handy ,some guy builds them and sells them on ebay fom time to time for around 150

Cabelas has a clearance section on these at some ok prices.
