I purchased a merc and have not picked it up yet. The guy is telling me its a long shaft about 33"????? I never heard of that? is he counting from the wrong area?? and is there a way to make it go back to 15" without spending a boat load of money?

The parts manual calls for short and long gearboxes as being available. Going back to a short would not be cheap when you look at the prices of the driveshaft, shift shaft, driveshaft housing , etc.

Has the seller measured the engine per the chart yet?
