I have an '87 Force 125 that someone stole the lower end off of.<br />Had a 1 piece shaft, fits 25" transom boat (what they call the long shaft)<br /><br />Found another lower end, it has a 2-piece shaft. I think it may be for a short shaft motor. Don't have ready access to the boat motor right now.<br /><br />The short shaft length is :<br />18 3/4" body of shaft<br />19 1/4" (including tip)<br />23 1/2" from top of lower end housing to tip of shaft<br />1) Anybody know if this is the right length shaft?<br />2) How much difference is there in the short 2-piece shaft and the long 2-piece shaft<br />3) Is the length of the 2-piece shaft the only difference in the lower end for a short shaft vs. long shaft motor.<br />4) Any good ideas for places to buy a used longer shaft if that's all I need?
