This motor has the extra long shaft and was set up on my boat with a helm control as a kicker with autopilot. The cable broke and I changed it out for a new unit with tiller handle. This is the perfect unit for a guy who needs parts. I used it two seasons and I know the guy I bought it from used it a number of seasons I am located in Queensbury, NY 12804. Text 518-528-1465 $500 takes it. $600 if you wanna dicker. May trade for a jon boat
