Just measure from the top of your boat to looking flat at the bottom and see if you have no more than 26". If so you likely need a longer shaft length. I really doubt it though, a 36" transom mount on a bow mount should be good for that boat.
Be sure to turn the handle around backwards for that situation!

I would add to that by saying you need to NET 18" measured from the bottom of the motor's skeg up the shaft to have IN THE WATER...which in the case of that size boat could vary depending on where yer sitting in the boat...if yer sitting in the back, obviously the bow will be high...vice versa if yer sitting in front...as you know they are adjustable, so you need to buy one that'll get you the 18 in the water with bow-high

The Structure Scan feature I'm not familiar with...but I've always used Lowrance cuz I LIKE 'EM
