What is the consensus on outboard motor shaft length for a CD25? long at 20" or extra long at 25"

25. Especially in rough weather to keep the prop in the water.

Not only will the 25 keep your prop in the water in rough weather, but the lower point of thrust on a 25 inch shaft gives more thrust in all conditions.

CD 25. I would go for the 25" length.
