Shaft lenght?

[steplift20]

Phatdaddy, to measure the lenght of the transom or what I mean is how deep- long it is. Do you measure from the top to the bottom of the hull? Or the top to the water line?
I am thinking of all the stuff I have to do to my baby(steplift) next year to get her ready for spring. Here it is
Check for a fuel leak, cause I do smell gas when I fill her up. So I'm going to open the two small hatches that's where all the fittings are and make sure there are no leaks
Change the fuel line
Cut a hole in the console and put in a panel with three switches so this way when one goes bad I won't have to remove the console. Plus a bunch of other things
I'm keeping my boat at the marine yard this year but I'm kinda thinking I would have love to have her in my driveway this year.
