"I am having the same problem

"I am having the same problem as i am trying to get a long shaft 35 running but i have a 20 short shaft older motor that goes perfect so i might be looking at makeing a pod type of thing .This can be as simple as,if you imagine a braket coming out from the boat,steel or aliminium home made if you are handy or have a friend make one,far enough out from the boat to clamp and low enough to do the job then bolt on .This should be stong and sturdy. you can purchase the real thing though,hope this helps, regards alan."
