Motorguide xi5 stowed length

[Gong2500]

Hi, I'm hoping someone with an existing xi5 54" and 60" shaft could put a tape measure to their unit and share the overall length of the unit (top of the motor unit to the base of the prop unit).

Looking to fabricate a custom rail mount for the front of a 430 fishabout and want to sketch out to see how to best position. 

Fyi - rang motorguide aust and they said I'd need to contact a dealer, Spoke to two dealers and they had no stock so unable to measure.

Thanks in advance and welcome any photos for inspiration if you have a trolling motor on the same boat

I have a motorguide and happy to measure it for you but I don't know what size shaft I have...

Mine's a 54" and measures 1600 top to skeg laying

down. Measures 1400 from top to front of mount when in stowed position.

200 from front of mount to the skeg.

Hope that makes sense. Was going to do that this morning but forgot till I

read DB's post.

Thanks mate appreciate your help.

If the unit has a specifications sticker I should be able to work out from model number, else if you could provide a measurement of the actual shaft as well that would also work

Thanks for the measurements A51 - that is perfect!

AB - thanks for the offer to assist also
