I have a 2002 F25MLHA that I'm helping a buddy with, it has gear case issues and we are also hoping to convert it to a short shaft. I picked up a 2004 F25MSHC short shaft donor motor with a good gear case. I was hoping to take the good power head off of the 2002 and put it on the 2004 but see that the power head gaskets have different part numbers. This makes me wonder if things are going to line up to make this possible. Can anyone offer insight regarding the interchangeability of parts between these outboards?
