Hi,I have a 55lb thrust Minnkota tiller steer & would like to know if i can shorten the shaft, because if i adjust it to a comfortable steering height which is all the way down, the prop. is very deep in the water & i'm worried about stuffing both the prop. & the shaft by grounding in shallow water.All help will be appreciated thanks.
 
I dont see why you couldnt carefully take it apart and pull the wires out of the tube, shorten the tube and drill the appropriate hole/s and then put it back together. You will probably want to solder the wire connectors on the wires after you shorten them to be safe.

thats excatly how to do it, very simple. i did mine....
