In naval architecture, a transom is the surface that forms the stern of a vessel. Transoms may be flat or curved and they may be vertical, raked forward, also known as a retroussé or reverse transom, angling forward (toward the bow) from the waterline to the deck, or raked aft, often simply called "raked", angling in the other direction.
IE: It's the top part of the stern, and the stern is the back of the boat.

What horsepower do you need for a 14 foot boat?
The USCG, ABYC, Canadian and ISO rules all use the same formulas for horsepower for outboard powered boats under 20 feet (6 meter) based on center line length, transom width and transom height.see chart belowTaken from Title 33 Code of Federal Regulations Subpart 183.53Outboard Horsepower CapacityCompute the Factor = Boat Length x Transom width If Factor is (to the nearest integer)0-3536-3940-4243-4546-52Horsepower is357.51015Note: For flat bottom hard chine boats, with a factor of 52 or less reduce HP one capacity increment If the Factor is over 52.5 and the boat hasRemote Steering and at least 20" Transom HeightHP =(2 x Factor) -90No remote steering or less than 20" transom HeightFor flat bottom hard chine boatsHP =(0.5 x Factor) -15For other boatsHP =(0.8 x Factor) -25So if your 14 foot boat is actually 13.83 (13 ft 10in) and has a 4.5 ft transom width the factor will be 62.23. If it has a 20 inch transom height and remote steering then 62.23 X 2 -90 = hp = 34.47 round that to 35.If it has a 15 inch transom and/or tiller steering (the tiller on the motor) then it would be 62.23 x 0.8 -25 = hp = 24.78 round to 25 hp.You have to measure the actual centerline length and transom width. Transom width includes rub rails. (in other words use the widest part of the transom)For more info see the link provided below.in Canada or Europe this would be in meters and kilowatts.
What is the difference between a long shaft and a short shaft outboard engine?
Boat builders manfacture their crafts' in three basic transom heights. The transom height is measured from the top of the transom, (where the engine bolts on), straight down to the keel, (bottom middle), of the boat. A 15'' transom would require a shortshaft engine. A 20" transom would need a longshaft outboard, and a boat with a 25" transom, would require a extra longshaft engine.
