Trolling Motor Shaft Length
I am looking at adding a Rip Tide 80 Lbs. CP/AP to the Bow of a new 190 Bay, and I was wondering if a 54" shaft is long enough or if I should go with the 60 inch? I fish in windy areas, and I didn't want to "Buck" the motor out of the water or even near the surface - cavitation, Red-line the motor, etc... I'd like to get the 54" if it will be ok... Any help?

I have a 51 inch on my 170CC and it has room to spare...no cavitation in waves at all. I'm sure the 54" would do nicely.

I have a 50" shaft on my 195cc and its plenty deep in the water.

I could be wrong (it happens a lot
 ) and I'm sure the factory guys know what they're talking about but a 42" shaft on a 170CC seems a little short. I'm sure it would be coming out of the water with any kind of wave action. I wouldn't put anything less than a 48 inch on the bow of a 170CC. Of course, that is just my opinion based on my experience with my boat and the water I fish...for what it's worth.

I use 54 or 60, forgot, RipTide 101 36 volt on 190 Bay. I'd rather be a little long vs short.

I have a 42 inch shaft on my 170 Bass ( Motorguide) and I can definitely say it is not long enough.
