Coork...wish I could tell ya what length...boat's an hour down the road...get the 60"...you can always have it cut down...IF you got a good Minn Kota dealer close by, buy from him in case you wanna cut down, he can do it...when you're measuring, take into account the length of the shaft that's IN the motor housing...not just the length from top of deck to 18" below water line...that issue bit me once and cost me $90 :P ... locate your batts as close as possible to elec motor and use heavy wire to connect (don't scrimp there and keep connections clean)...these motors are GREAT, but they won' tolerate low batts...start your fishin' day w/HOT BATTS ... that's why I strongly recommend onboard charger and LARGE batts ;) ...unplug motor when chargin' and DON'T leave auto-pilot on when motor in STOWED position...follow these tips and that thing will become a best friend... 8) ...
