The ONLY way to measure "X-dim"/prop shaft depth is with the prop shaft parallel to the bottom.

You can always get a shortie lower

Getting a x dimension of 3.5 must be worth a couple miles per hour

How much will a shorty lower bring the X-Dimension up??

Nothing, it will bring the prop shaft up. The X stays the same. Since the X is the distance from crank to bottom.

Copy that... Noob mistake, lol
How much would that shorty lower move the prop shaft up over the stock Bravo1 lower??

It depends on how short it is... There are 1", 2" and 3" shorties - and they're 1", 2" and 3" shorter that standard length. :lolhit:

not to hijack thread,but is it worth playing with prop height if boat has a hook?
