The 96\" is designed for bow heights of 48–54\". On a very high-freeboard offshore boat or charter platform, a 96\" shaft may not reach the water properly — especially in ocean swell. When in doubt, choose the next longer shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I measure my bow height?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure from the mounting surface (where the motor base will sit) to the waterline with a typical fishing load. That measurement determines the correct shaft length. Confirm with Rhodan's official size guide or contact TrollingMotors.shop before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need 36V instead of 24V?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your vessel weighs over 6,000 lbs and you fish dedicated offshore conditions, 24V (80 lbs thrust) may not provide sufficient holding power. The 36V system produces 120 lbs of thrust — 50% more — with greater steering authority in open ocean wind and longer runtime for all-day offshore trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Gen5 work with Garmin chartplotters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — the Gen5 integrates natively with Simrad, Raymarine, and Lowrance via Rhodan's MFD Gateway and NMEA 2000.

The 96\" is designed for bow heights of 48–54\". On a very high-freeboard offshore boat or charter platform, a 96\" shaft may not reach the water properly — especially in ocean swell. When in doubt, choose the next longer shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I measure my bow height?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure from the mounting surface (where the motor base will sit) to the waterline with a typical fishing load. That measurement determines the correct shaft length. Confirm with Rhodan's official size guide or contact TrollingMotors.shop before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need 36V instead of 24V?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your vessel weighs over 6,000 lbs and you fish dedicated offshore conditions, 24V (80 lbs thrust) may not provide sufficient holding power. The 36V system produces 120 lbs of thrust — 50% more — with greater steering authority in open ocean wind and longer runtime for all-day offshore trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Gen5 work with Garmin chartplotters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — the Gen5 integrates natively with Simrad, Raymarine, and Lowrance via Rhodan's MFD Gateway and NMEA 2000.

It's the best balance of shaft length and 36V performance for that boat profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know if I need the 60\" or a longer shaft?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure your bow height from the mounting surface to the waterline with a typical fishing load. If your bow height is 30–36\", the 60\" is correct. If it's over 36\", step up to the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rhodan-gen5-gps-trolling-motor-36v-72-shaft-white\"\u003e72\" shaft\u003c\/a\u003e.

The 60\" is designed for bow heights of 30–36\". On a higher bow, a 60\" shaft may not reach the water properly — especially in chop. When in doubt, choose the next longer shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I measure my bow height?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure from the mounting surface (where the motor base will sit) to the waterline with a typical fishing load. That measurement determines the correct shaft length. Confirm with Rhodan's official size guide or contact TrollingMotors.shop before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need 36V instead of 24V?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your vessel weighs over 6,000 lbs, or you regularly fish in strong tidal current, rough inlets, or offshore structure, 24V (80 lbs thrust) may not provide sufficient holding power. The 36V system produces 120 lbs of thrust — 50% more — with greater steering authority in wind and longer runtime under demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Gen5 work with Garmin chartplotters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — the Gen5 integrates natively with Simrad, Raymarine, and Lowrance via Rhodan's MFD Gateway and NMEA 2000.

It's the correct fit when your bow height is 36–42\" — higher than the typical bay boat the 60\" serves, but not yet in the dedicated offshore platform range of the 84\"+. It's the model that bridges both worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need the 72\" instead of the 60\"?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your bow height is between 36\" and 42\", the 72\" is the correct fit. The 60\" is designed for bow heights of 30–36\". On a higher bow, a 60\" shaft may not reach the water properly — especially in chop. When in doubt, choose the next longer shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I measure my bow height?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure from the mounting surface (where the motor base will sit) to the waterline with a typical fishing load. That measurement determines the correct shaft length. Confirm with Rhodan's official size guide or contact TrollingMotors.shop before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need 36V instead of 24V?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your vessel weighs over 6,000 lbs, or you regularly fish in strong tidal current, rough inlets, or offshore structure, 24V (80 lbs thrust) may not provide sufficient holding power. The 36V system produces 120 lbs of thrust — 50% more — with greater steering authority in wind and longer runtime under demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Gen5 work with Garmin chartplotters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — the Gen5 integrates natively with Simrad, Raymarine, and Lowrance via Rhodan's MFD Gateway and NMEA 2000.

The 84\" steps into a different category: boats with bow heights of 42–48\" that are designed specifically for open ocean fishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need the 84\" instead of the 72\"?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your bow height is between 42\" and 48\", the 84\" is the correct fit. The 72\" is designed for bow heights of 36–42\". On a higher-bow dedicated offshore center console, a 72\" shaft may not reach the water properly — especially in ocean swells. When in doubt, choose the next longer shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I measure my bow height?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure from the mounting surface (where the motor base will sit) to the waterline with a typical fishing load. That measurement determines the correct shaft length. Confirm with Rhodan's official size guide or contact TrollingMotors.shop before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need 36V instead of 24V?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your vessel weighs over 6,000 lbs and you fish dedicated offshore conditions, 24V (80 lbs thrust) may not provide sufficient holding power. The 36V system produces 120 lbs of thrust — 50% more — with greater steering authority in open ocean wind and longer runtime for all-day offshore trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Gen5 work with Garmin chartplotters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — the Gen5 integrates natively with Simrad, Raymarine, and Lowrance via Rhodan's MFD Gateway and NMEA 2000.

The 72\" serves the offshore crossover market — larger bay boats and hybrid offshore boats with bow heights of 36–42\". The 84\" steps into a different category: boats with bow heights of 42–48\" that are designed specifically for open ocean fishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need the 84\" instead of the 72\"?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your bow height is between 42\" and 48\", the 84\" is the correct fit. The 72\" is designed for bow heights of 36–42\". On a higher-bow dedicated offshore center console, a 72\" shaft may not reach the water properly — especially in ocean swells. When in doubt, choose the next longer shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I measure my bow height?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure from the mounting surface (where the motor base will sit) to the waterline with a typical fishing load. That measurement determines the correct shaft length. Confirm with Rhodan's official size guide or contact TrollingMotors.shop before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need 36V instead of 24V?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your vessel weighs over 6,000 lbs and you fish dedicated offshore conditions, 24V (80 lbs thrust) may not provide sufficient holding power. The 36V system produces 120 lbs of thrust — 50% more — with greater steering authority in open ocean wind and longer runtime for all-day offshore trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Gen5 work with Garmin chartplotters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — the Gen5 integrates natively with Simrad, Raymarine, and Lowrance via Rhodan's MFD Gateway and NMEA 2000.

The 84\" is designed for bow heights of 42–48\". On a larger, high-freeboard offshore center console, an 84\" shaft may not reach the water properly — especially in ocean swell.

The 84\" is designed for bow heights of 42–48\". On a larger, high-freeboard offshore center console, an 84\" shaft may not reach the water properly — especially in ocean swell. When in doubt, choose the next longer shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I measure my bow height?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure from the mounting surface (where the motor base will sit) to the waterline with a typical fishing load. That measurement determines the correct shaft length. Confirm with Rhodan's official size guide or contact TrollingMotors.shop before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need 36V instead of 24V?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your vessel weighs over 6,000 lbs and you fish dedicated offshore conditions, 24V (80 lbs thrust) may not provide sufficient holding power. The 36V system produces 120 lbs of thrust — 50% more — with greater steering authority in open ocean wind and longer runtime for all-day offshore trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Gen5 work with Garmin chartplotters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — the Gen5 integrates natively with Simrad, Raymarine, and Lowrance via Rhodan's MFD Gateway and NMEA 2000.
