New Typhoon owner and can't decide if I need a 20" or 25" long shaft...from direct measurement, it would seem to be the latter, yet You-Tube is full of videos of people sailing the Ty' with a 20" 4-stroke Yammie.
A 6 hp Tohatsu Sailmaster would seem to be the only choice if I need a 25" long shaft.
What do Typhoon owners say?
Thanks in advance.

Re: auxillary power
My bad; that's a Tohatsu 'Sail PRO' and you have to buy this year's model to get the 25" long shaft...though they (onlineoutboards.com) still sells the 2015 model which was only 20"...

Re: auxillary power
Consider the following.
-Get rid of the original ob bracket
-Install a modern bracket that you can raise 4/5 "
-Mount a 4hp ob on it - and if you can get a 2 cycle ob (used) (they are lighter)
This system worked well for me when I owned my TY
