I emailed Mark from the mercury/mako dealer and they do have a 30hp mercury 4-stroke tiller shortshaft manual start but don't have what I want.if memory serves me correct when i went looking for mine last year merc didnt offer a 30 hp in the short shaft tiller , the only 30 hp they had was a long shaft?? i might be wrong and its been a while since being on their site but there was something about it that kept me from going with the 30 as opposed to the 25
Yes I know but I'm going to stick with 15" shaft on notched transom LT25 CustomDH with electric jackplate, 3 blade heavy cupped propeller and electric trimtabs. I'm just working on some ideas for awhile before I call Pugar to build me a boat someday. If everything works out smoothy.whitesnooky,
With a LT why not go with a 20 inch shaft? Knowing you, you will be installing a Jack Plate and a LT is designed for a 20 inch shaft.
i tried the 20" shaft on the mudminnow.... didnt work to well, plowed the mud everywhere it went then chewed 2 blades off the prop when it found the oyster barsYes I know but I'm going to stick with 15" shaft on notched transom LT25 CustomDH with electric jackplate, 3 blade heavy cupped propeller and electric trimtabs.

I made the mistake with 20" shaft tiller yamaha 2-stroke on LT25 and hydraulic jackplate..because too high to reach and drive the tiller handle like a monkey bars handle on the motorcycle.

What Height Transom? Did you have a Jack Plate?i tried the 20" shaft on the mudminnow.... didnt work to well, plowed the mud everywhere it went then chewed 2 blades off the prop when it found the oyster bars:-[
Mark emailed me and he got the order back because short shaft 25/30 merc doesn't include power tilt and trim so I'm pissed about it.Last time I checked Merc did not sell a 15" shaft with power t&t, electric start. Only 20"

Exactly!....that's why I won't go for 20" shaft tillers for Gheenoe Lowtide 25 with poling platform.Good pointI made the mistake with 20" shaft tiller yamaha 2-stroke on LT25 and hydraulic jackplate..because too high to reach and drive the tiller handle like a monkey bars handle on the motorcycle.

i have a 15" transom, couldnt go with a jackplate due to restrictions created by the poling platform :'(
My parents have a place up in Blairsville, Ga where I can stay and flyfish in the creek for few days.i am assuming your going to incorporate this trip with some other event? sounds like a long ride just for a motor that is unless your getting a substantial discount![]()
Sounds like someone is headed to onlineoutboards.com center of operations...he is getting a good deal, but I thought they shipped free and no sales tax...might be some other reason for the trip though?Going to pick up a brand new 30hp tohatsu 15"shaft tiller with electric start and power tilt&trim in October at cookville, TN. my hard work on nights and weekends install ceramic title and wood floors finally paid off!
