I have a 1985 15 HP Nisson long shaft and would like to make it into a short shaft, I think. The reason I think it should be a short shaft is when I run the boat with only myself in it, the bow lifts up too high. In fact I have trouble seeing because the bow is so high. Where can I get information about converting the long shaft to a short shaft. I think that the water pump (impeller) should also be changed and imagine that it would be included in the conversion kit. Also I have a problem with the carburator or fuel pump. The motor starts and runs great at low speed or high speed but won't run at intermediate speeds. The carburator was made by TK carburator Co. Ltd. I bought the motor used and I'm just getting into boating. I can't find anyone in the area that deals with Nisson outboards, I'm in the Naples/Ft. Myers, FL area. Thanks for any help on this.
