This is a paper about multi-fractal scaling and dissipation in a shell model of turbulence, called the GOY model. This set of equations describes a one dimensional cascade of energy towards higher wave vectors. When the model is chaotic, the high-wave-vector velocity is a product of roughly independent multipliers, one for each logarithmic momentum shell. The appropriate tool for studying the multifractal properties of this model is shown to be the energy current on each shell rather than the velocity on each shell. Using this quantity, one can obtain better measurements of the deviations from Kolmogorov scaling (in the GOY dynamics) than were available up to now. These deviations are seen to depend upon the details of inertial-range structure of the model and hence are {\em not} universal. However, once the conserved quantities of the model are fixed to have the same scaling structure as energy and helicity, these deviations seem to depend only weakly upon the scale parameter of the model. We analyze the connection between multifractality in the velocity distribution and multifractality in the dissipation. Our arguments suggest that the connection is universal for models of this character, but the model has a different behavior from that of real turbulence. We also predict the scaling behavior of time correlations of shell-velocities, of the dissipation,
