I need to purchase a 9.9 outboard for a kicker motor on the lakes that are restricted in my state. My Question is Will a 9.9 short shaft Kicker motor work on a V shaped Hull. My transom is a 20 inches at the center....This is a V shaped hull and the transom only measures 17 1/2 inches on either side of the larger Main Motor... I only use this for trolling around at speeds under 5mph. and the cavitation plate will surely be submerged. I know a long shaft would probably be the correct length, but I was wondering if because of the V shaped hull it would be only about 2 1/2 inches difference........ I know that the maximum speed on te boat with the 9.9 will probably only be about 7 to 8 mph. so it will never get on plane or cavitate from lack of water as it will be going to slow...I was thinking it would just be a little slower...... Your thoughts?? (2007 9.9 4 stroke like new only $750) Thanks Mike
