✔ Improved performance on larger center consoles

✔ More consistent thrust in changing conditions

For larger boats fishing offshore structure, bridges, passes, and open bays, the 72-inch shaft provides a significant advantage over shorter shaft lengths. See our shaft length guide for help choosing.
