I am looking at buying a 25hp evinrude with serial#25353a

What year is this motor?

.How much for a long shaft extension kit or does anyone have one they want to sell for this motor.

Thanks

That's a '73. You can search salvage yards under Top secret files on top of this forum and check around. Tim's outboard is my favorite 218-682-2331. You'll need the 5" housing extension w/5 fasteners, long drive shaft, long watertube (or 5" extension), and a 5" shift rod coupler. Look to spend $100+ for used kit. Inspect/install a new impeller while your in there.. good idea for any 'new to you' motor..

Good luck!

Can you tell from these two pictures if this 25hp motor is a long or short shaft. I think it looks like a g shaft but the guy selling it says short shaft. Not sure. Thanks again.

That is a short shaft. A long shaft would have a very obvious 5 inch extension piece between the lower unit and exhaust housing.
