What is the recommended engine size and shaft length

I am replacing my 5 HP Suzuki with a 9.9 HP Evinrude. I found the Suzuki too weak when windy and it didn't bite well when trying to slow the boat.

RE: shaft length, I don't have specific measurements, they are both "long shaft" motors.

Good luck
