It worked fine. Sort of hard to reach down and the tiller was not fully straightened out but I wanted to use the 25 for other purposes too. Later I had a 9.9 4 stroke that worked much better with a long shaft, but that was a single purpose kicker. Suppose it depends on if you have other uses for the kicker that require a short shaft.
