If you have a kicker bracket I would think that any length shaft will do. Depends on the height you mount the bracket at. Just make sure that the steering transfer rod has enough clearence to do the job.

If your transom is 25 inches,you need a long shaft

 

Consider a kicker bar attached to the big motor

Go with a long shaft... it'll ensure your prop stays in the water when the waves are unpleasent...
