My local dealer is recommending the Short Shaft instead of Extra Short Shaft for my 15.5 inch transom height. They mentioned the additional length would be helpful in choppy water conditions there would be more chance of the prop coming further out of the water and then unit will begin to lose performance since one blade is no longer catching all of the water it needs to in order to move the boat forward --especially when encountering waves from other boats or wind blown chop. Did you have this experience with Extra Short Shaft unit?
Yes, correct 5 Knots is at full throttle. I've run all the Takacats, except the 420LX with the Spirit 1.0 and there is no notable difference in performance, according to phone GPS.
I like the promotion, the boat's seniors are really good

Thanks for the vídeo! What shaft lenght do you use for the e propolsion motor? Thanks you.
Hi, On the new lowered transoms of the Takacat, we use the extra short shaft EPropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus.
were you at full throttle to get to the 5 knots of speed? Do you think it will have same or better performance with the 340LX?
Yes, correct 5 Knots is at full throttle. I've run all the Takacats, except the 420LX with the Spirit 1.0 and there is no notable difference in performance, according to phone GPS.
