I would go with a hacksaw. Just be sure to clamp it down good.
You may also be able to buy a new shaft at the right length. Might be worth contacting motor guide directly or going through a dealer and see if they have a shaft that's the right length you can just buy. If your existing shaft is in good shape, a dealer may give you some credit towards the swap if they do repairs.

I have read of guys using tubing cutters. It really ain't too difficult from what I understand. I know It will void the warranty on Minn Kotas unless an authorized service center does it. Not sure on Motorguides.

This is what I had did in the pass. You have to take the head off first. Then start cutting it little bit at a time and rotate it being careful not to cut the wires. Once done, you have to cut the wires to length and install new wire clips. Also clean up the inside of the shaft were you had cut it with a file.
