Yamaha 4hp Outboard, Aux. Power for small sailboat

[HandyBillySeaMusic]

Enjoy all your videos on the Peep Hen...just bought a green one in Rhode Island and brought it home to Michigan. Does your prop hit your rudder when you put the helm over? If not, how do you avoid that with a standard length shaft? I'm considering a Yamaha 4 h.p. but might need a long shaft to avoid a nasty collision between moving parts. Thanks!

its a shortshaft men

the longshaft version is with a block above the shaft/propellor

@MegaPimster Yes, thanks - I realised that after I had made the vid; that it was actually just the standard length shaft. Oops. Its a bit odd though, as it defintely seems longer than any other "short shafs" outboard I have had in the past... Oh well, sorry for the verbal blunder.
