Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: 1989 Guardian 18 Twin Evinrude 70 Hp Shaft Length ?

Hi Folks,
I've enjoyed the threads on 18" Guardians with 70 hp twin engine configurations but I can't find mentions of shaft length. One consideration with mine is I have the dive door port and aft and I'm a little concerned about having the dive rail open in a swell with the weight. Looking for some good advise, and personal experience.

Thanks, Lionel

See this info on our site

20 inch shaft length for dual motors and most of those brands do not have counter rotating in that shaft length.

Joe your site has been a wealth of knowledge.
I saw that you had 1987 70 hp Evinrude motors on that 1986 Outrage 18.
I respect your opinion, are you opposed to the previous generation Evinrude 70 hp and are parts a big issue for either ?
Thanks Lionel
P.S. Does the Dive door on my 1989 Guardian 18' make it a dive master ?
