jay kay Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'm looking to buy a 12ft poole canoe. Does anyone have an idea what size outboard would it need? It's got an 18" transom so would it need a short shaft? I realise it not going to be quick but would use it to fish with a couple of friends. Thanks in advance Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 15" Transom = Short Shaft. 20" Transom = Long Shaft. So at 18" I would go with Long Shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hi Jon I would suggest a 9hp outboard would be good, I know many would have used the good old Seagull engine but a bit noisy and smokey for these days in the harbour and I suspect it would upset the "enviromentalists" as well Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
