Thanks for all the help guys!

These Minn Kota motors are super efficient when run on half speed and less...w/the Co-Pilot, I'm usually on 1,2 or 3 depending on wind and at those speeds I could run all day for a couple of days if I had to...but as mentioned before, they like HOT batteries and will start to act up when power dwindles...on a day w/little or no wind, I'm on 1...just enough to keep those free-lines out behind the boat and the side-planers spread...

I know a LOT of striper fishermen around the southeast and MANY of them use these motors...

Only way I know to lengthen the shaft is to write a check to a Minn Kota dealer/tech...he orders a longer shaft from MK, lengthens all wires, etc, etc...to lengthen mine was around $150
