I bought a boat with a 1996 Suzuki DT115 outboard. The propeller shaft is bent. The shaft part number is 57610-94506 for the '86-01 it is discontinued. Suzuki doesn't list a replacement shaft but they do list part number 57610-94520 as working for the '92-01. I checked all the part numbers for the parts surrounding these shafts and the only difference is the nut that holds the propeller on. I called a suzuki dealer and asked if the shaft is a replacement if I buy the new nut also? he said it looks that way. So I said I would log onto a suzuki forum and ask before ordering. So does anyone know if I can I use the 57610-94520 if I buy the nut and washer also. Is that really the only difference? It seems strange suzuki wouldn't make this part a direct replacement and include something about these other parts must be replaced also. thanks JOHN

so anyway yes you can swap the parts the only thing that is different is the propeller mounting parts the bushing on the inside and the bushing and nut on the outside and everything works great. thanks JH

Thanks for posting what you found out, I am sure it will help someone else down the road.

Not a lot of people deal with the older Zukes, so hard to get someone to find your post and respond
