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.
