[Rhodes22-list] Fw: Question for Mary Lou Troy

[Mary Lou Troy]

Rory,
It's a long shaft (20"). The prop is whatever came with the 
high-thrust outboard. Seems to work well although it doesn't want to 
turn as well with the rudder blade near the prop (to port in reverse, 
to starboard forward). My guess is that is one of the reasons that 
folks use the outboard to tiller linkage. I think it's something 
we'll get used to but we haven't put much time on it yet.

Mary Lou
