[Rhodes22-list] OB Motors ( for Rummy)

Joe,
Again, it depends on the lift. If you are getting the standard  
(non-motorized) lift, you will want the long shaft and deal with an occasional  drag. 
(Maybe)You can tilt the motor once all the way up.  It's not a big  deal. But 
you want to keep the prop in the water while the engine is  running.

I'll have the 7:1 lift. I do not get the boat until July  28; I believe 
it's manual, but I don't know for sure.  Really, if the 20"  is going to 
cavitate, I have no control over that. It does what it does,  right?  What length 
shaft do most Rhodes owners use?  Thaks.

Also,
Cavitation is not good for an outboard motor. It is hard on  the  cooling 
impeller (doesn't like running dry) and has been known  to twist or  snap 
crank 
shafts.

John:
The cavitating is something I  can live with. OTOH (to  borrow a wonderful 
acronym from you) the  added drag when heeling to port would  be a PITA (to 
borrow a  wonderful acronym from Stan).  I hadn't considered  that, and 
your  
advice has made my decision far easier.

Longer shaft will cavitate less in rough seas under  power.   OTOH,  
longer shaft may drag the prop in the  water when heeled over  to port  
under  sail.

Cheers!
