|---|---|
| 30 cm / 11.8 inches – 40 cm / 15.7 inches | Extra Short* |
| 40 cm / 15.7 inches – 50 cm / 19.7 inches | Short |
| Higher than 50 cm / 19.7 inches | Long |
* This shaft length chart is for your reference only. The calculation from steps above would be more reliable if you get conflicting results.
| Model | XS (in) | S (in) | L (in) |
|---|---|---|---|

| Navy Series | N/A | 25.0 | 29.9 |
👉 For most small dinghies and aluminum boats under 15ft or 4.5m, extra short shaft or short will work depending on whether the transom height is over 40 cm / 15.7 inches or not.
👉 For boats with the transom height higher than 50 cm / 19.7 inches, a long shaft version is more suitable.
