Great question — getting the right shaft length is critical for performance and efficiency. Here’s a clear guide you can use (and adapt into a customer-facing resource for your store if you’d like):

How to Determine the Correct Shaft Length for Your Torqeedo Outboard

Measure Your Boat’s Transom Height
- Place a tape measure at the top of the transom (where the motor clamps on).
- Measure straight down to the bottom of the hull (the keel) at the centerline.
- This distance = your transom height.

Match to Torqeedo Shaft Options
Torqeedo offers Short (S) and Long (L) shaft versions:

Shaft Type	Shaft Length	Best Fit (Transom Height)	Typical Use
Short Shaft (S)	~24.6 in (62 cm)	15–17 in (38–44 cm)	Most inflatables, tenders, small dinghies
Long Shaft (L)	~29.5 in (75 cm)	20–22 in (51–56 cm)	Daysailers, keelboats, deeper transoms

Rule of Thumb: The anti-ventilation plate (flat fin above the propeller) should sit about 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) below the hull bottom when installed.

Consider Your Use Case
- Inflatables & dinghies: usually short shaft
- Sailboats & keelboats: usually long shaft
- If in doubt, lean toward slightly longer — it prevents cavitation (prop sucking air).
