I have a 1975 Johnson 25 hp longshaft and I was wondering if its it possible and or how easy it would be to convert this motor to a short shaft. I use the motor on a 14' aluminum boat and when the motor is at top speed water rolls up the shaft of the motor and into the boat. I am hoping by converting this motor to a short shaft it will take care of this problem. I had an 18 hp short shaft johnson on the boat and never had this problem. any help would be appreciated

Yes, that engine can be converted to short shaft. If parts aren't available on this site, I have the parts needed. If interested, contact me via email so as not to take up bandwidth on this site. My address follows below.
