trolling motor shaft size for new ZXR

[GOFISH$]

Looking at a new ZXR. On my past skeeters I have preferred a 52" trolling motor shaft due to how high the front of a skeeter sits. I have found that the longer shaft stays in the water much better with any chop. Anyone have any feedback about the the height of the new ZXR at the front?

I put a 52” on my ZXR21. I typically keep it about 3 1/2” higher than the lowest position.

My FXR came with a 52” Ultrex.

The ZXR comes stock with 45" Ultrex. My dealer gave me the option of changing out to the 52" on my ZXR20 at no cost but I declined. The 45" is a true 45" unlike the Fortex. I had the 52" on my 2019 ZX250 and personally felt it was in the way for me too often. I fish shallow a lot and it was a hassle to mess with it so I rectified that situation this time. I know from previous experience oif its windy enough that a 45" Ultrex is not holding out deep then chances are I will not be out there any way fishing deep.
