I have a 1991 Tracker TX 17 when I bought the boat it had a Motor Guide bow mount and a 42 Inch turbo 90 40 lb MinnKota in the mount this has been a pain as I have had to cut PVC pipe in half to take up the space in the Motor Guide mount around the shaft. All this said would a 52 inch MinnKota motor and mount be too long for this boat. I have a chance to buy a MinnKota great white 52 inch 55 lb 12v for $300 in great condition. Main concern is the shaft length is this too long>>

I've got a 52 on my 17ft 2013 175TF. You can always adjust the stop anywhere you want it to be. I much rather have one too long than too short in choppy waters. Oh and welcome to the forum. My trolling motor is a Minnkota Powerdrive v2 55ft lb 48in shaft, on the nitro I have the Powerdrive v1, 55ft lb 52in shaft. Would have loved to come across a deal like that.
