For Great Lakes or coastal sailing it needs the xls.

Catalina 22 outboard shaft length. At about 25 knots the maximum range is about eight miles. She is built since 1995 by Catalina Yachts United States. If it measures anywhere from 17 to around 22 then your going to want to go with a long shaft motor.

However I do live on the boat which means its pretty weighted down with amenities ie. 1975 Catalina 22 Pop Top Project Sailboat and Trailer The Catalina 22 is a popular sailboat produced by Catalina Yachts. Directly up wind you should have few problems with a 20 shaft.

A long shaft will work fine on a water ballast for inland lakes. The ultraextra long shaft models are commonly used in kicker and auxiliary applications where the outboard is mounted to the port side of a main motor or on a bracket as is the case with sailboats. Fridge oven microwave TV etc.

The CATALINA 22 SPORT was released in 2003. This is my fantasy. The 98 is way more hp than you need to push a Catalina 22 in almost any kind of conditions.

When the right length motor is hung on the transom of a boat the cavitation plate the large plate that extends out over the propeller should be even with the very bottom of the boat. A long is about 5 shorter. 25 shaft are rare below 100 HP.

On the Catalina 22 the range on a single battery at 4 knots is about 25 miles. The Catalina 22 MkII is a 216 655m cruising sailboat designed by Frank Butler United States. If they made a 25 shaft I would have bought it but the 20 is sufficient in most conditions.
