Hi John, I have the standard 20" long shaft. I believe the "Sailpro" comes as a 6 hp only. Also the alternator is available only on the 6. I believe I will investigate solar for trickle charging.

I have the 6 hp sail pro, which from the specs is the same engine as the 5hp and 4hp, just with less hp (same weight, same displacement engine, same gear ratio, etc.).
cheers, John S.

Just bought a long shaft Tohatsu. The book that came with it states the cavitation plate should be one inch below the bottom of the boat. Hope that works out with Jerry's designed ob cutout.

I tooled the original M17's transom cutout for a 4HP (a 2-cycle Johnson) long shaft outboard.

The mount was a frequent response to the lack of room in the cutout for

rotate for 'reverse' operation - I installed a tiny fixed mount at the
same height as the cut-out and use a 20" 4hp Evinrude Yachtwin (no reverse)

luckily solved all problems and adds minimum weight.
