Pigeontroller Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Can someone tell me, if a Minn Kota Maxxum has a 52" shaft, is that from the head down, or the bracket? Edited March 18, 2009 by Pigeontroller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Dax, I've always been under the impression that it was measured from the bottom of the head to the top of the motor housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Rat Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I just measured my maxxum 52 incher and its 50.5 inches from the top of the motor caseing to the bottom of the head unit RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyb Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Go with the longest shaft possible if you are concerned...you can always raise it up, but not the other way around if you don't have the length to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeontroller Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Reason I'm asking is I have a 48" PowerDrive, and the shaft is long enough,barely, but I quite often have it lowered all the way down. I was considering switching to a Maxxum, and I see the longest shaft seems to be 52" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NANUK Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Don't know the answer to your question but here is how you can determine what shaft length TM you need for your boat. TOP OF BOW TO WATERLINE .................RECOMMENDED SHAFT LENGTH 0" To 10"......................................................36" Shaft 16" To 22".....................................................42" Shaft 22" To 28".....................................................48" To 52" 28" To 34"......................................................54" To 62" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
