Before I buy?

Has anyone tried to shorten the length on a electric trolling motor? Would like to put one on my sneak boat , 18" shaft length would be about what I need .

The stern mounted one I have has an adjustable shaft length. It simply slides up to run shallow.

Yep, but using a 120& unit:)

There is only a wire inside the shaft

I have done it on a Minn Kota for a tracker grizzly. Its pretty simple. I followed these directions. It has pics too.
