Does anyone know what length shaft for a Ultrex 112 installed on a Ranger Z-21?

45" Shaft on 112 Ultrex ...... fish mostly in the Delta and this length works fine.
If you fish exceedingly big water, like the Great Lakes you may want to consider the 52"

Many 20-21ft boats run a 52". It has to do with how high the bow sits in the water. If you fish tournaments with both live wells full your bow might sit higher in that situation. If you fish rough water with both wells full with a hull that has a higher freeboard then you should go with a 52. I have a 52 Fortrex on my Triton and have considered trying a 45". You might call Ranger and ask them what they recommend.

I have a 2008 Z21 and just installed a new Ultrex. 45" shaft is fine with room to spare.
