On a Norman 20 do I need a long shaft outboard or will a short shaft work?

All Normans require long shaft motors as far as I know!

Thanks everyone. I thought as much but wanted to check with the guys in the know. Typical really as I have a great 15hp Johnson short shaft with brand new gearbox that I use on my inflatable rib.

What size engines are 20 owners using?

I have the chance of a 2 stroke Mercury 40hp but wonder if that's gonna be too big and will it run lumpy at the low speeds required.

I'll be using it on the river Trent.

15hp 4 stroke will be ideal unless you fancy doing sea work.

If you are on the canal a 9.9hp is ideal. Many people have up to 15hp. Try to get 4 stroke if possible.

ive had a 20 hp mercury 2 stroke on since I have owned the boat, recently put a 15hp 4 stroke on the difference in lower noise and better fuel consumption, get a four stroke if you can
