Re: Overall shaft length on a 6.5 surface drive? Somewhere in that neighborhood, 27" is a popular number.

Re: Overall shaft length on a 6.5 surface drive? I have built them with 30" shafts. 27" would probably do but the longer shaft can help if you are bit off with the design of your trim or your drive housing length.
