2. Outboard motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outboard_motor

   Outboard motor shaft lengths are standardized to fit 15-, 20- and 25-inch (38-, 51- and 64-centimeter) transoms. If the shaft is too long it will extend farther into the water than necessary creating drag, which will impair performance and fuel economy. If the shaft is too short, the motor will be prone to ventilation.

   The outdrive resembles the bottom half of an outboard motor and is composed of two sub-units: an upper containing a driveshaft connected through the transom to an engine which transmits power to a 90-degree-angle gearbox; and the lower containing a vertical driveshaft receiving power from the upper unit gearbox, transmitted through another 90 ...

   25 mm to 60 mm with 5 mm steps; 60 mm to 110 mm with 10 mm steps; 110 mm to 140 mm with 15 mm steps; 140 mm to 500 mm with 20 mm steps; The standard lengths of the shafts are 5 m, 6 m and 7 m. Usually 1m to 5m is used.

5. Transom (nautical) - Wikipedia

   Vertical transom and stern of a modern cargo ship. In some boats and ships, a transom is the aft transverse surface of the hull that forms the stern of a vessel. Historically, they are a development from the canoe stern (or "double-ender") wherein which both bow and stern are pointed. Transoms add both strength and width to the stern.

6. Mercury Marine - Wikipedia

   The main product line is outboard motors. It also produces the MerCruiser line of sterndrives and inboard engines, as well as a lineup of electric outboard motors. Utilizing modular and portable 48V lithium-ion batteries and transverse flux motor technology, these yield high torque with optimum efficiency.

   Transoms provide width and additional buoyancy at the stern. Dinghies may attach an outboard motor to the transom. Warp: anchor line, traditionally made of stiff natural fibre such as hemp, today of stronger, lighter, synthetic fibres such as laid nylon, prized for its elasticity in absorbing shock loads on an anchor.
