Hello Johanna
Is your current motor no longer reliable? I assume the high service charge is due to some parts being replaced. If you have had the motor serviced annually I would expect it to last a few more years.
However, I can definitely state that you need a short shaft outboard.

Hi Johanna,
A short shaft 6HP is sufficient for a CC19.
But we are very happy with a low pitch propeller. I mean lower than the standard propeller. We have a 6-1/2" pitch.
