I need help in locating a non OEM driveshaft for this engine.
It appears that the original driveshaft was a 1 piece from the late 1970's to the early 1990's. Some where along the way OMC went to a 2 piece replacement shaft.
I suspect that driveshaft replacement is not that uncomon due to the propensity of the seal under the water pump to fail, leading to irreversible corrosion of the sealing surface on the driveshaft.
