What parts do I need to convert a 2001 9.9 4 stroke short shaft to a long shaft? Can I convert it to a bigfoot? Where can I get the parts?

Re: converting short shaft to long shaft

If you find a long shaft lower unit on ebay or something similar it shouldn't be that hard. You might have to get a longer shift shaft as well, Im not familiar with that engine so idk what the shift linkages are. If you can find a bigfoot lower unit or they might be called "pro kicker" for the 9.9 models which are the ones with the high thrust prop that would probably suit your needs.

To change to a BigFoot, you would need a different midsection as well as the gearcase. Basically you would have to put your powerhead on a different everything-else.
